# Server
The server section configures and tunes the http server module Authelia uses.
## Configuration
```yaml
# Configuration options specific to the internal http server
server:
# Buffers usually should be configured to be the same value.
# Explanation at https://docs.authelia.com/configuration/server.html
# Read buffer size configures the http server's maximum incoming request size in bytes.
read_buffer_size: 4096
# Write buffer size configures the http server's maximum outgoing response size in bytes.
write_buffer_size: 4096
```
### Buffer Sizes
The read and write buffer sizes generally should be the same. This is because when Authelia verifies
if the user is authorized to visit a URL, it also sends back nearly the same size response
(write_buffer_size) as the request (read_buffer_size).
