+---------------------

+**type**: ``integer`` **default**: ``null``
+
+By default, the generated response header will not be split into multiple headers.
+This means that depending on the amount of tags generated in your application the
+value of that header might become pretty long. This again might cause issues with
+your webserver which usually come with a pre-defined maximum header value length and
+will throw an exception if you exceed this. Using this configuration key you can
+configure a maximum length **in bytes** which will split your value into multiple
+headers. Note that you might update your proxy configuration because it needs
+to be able to handle multiple headers instead of just one.

+    4096 bytes is generally a good choice because it seems like most webservers have
