503 error with very large http cookies

[kramerrs]

The app_proxy endpoint that DT::datatables sets up throws a 503 error if the browser transmits oversized cookies, even when the cookies are unrelated, such as in a SAML SSO session from the same domain. This can be reproduced adding editing a cookie in the browser to be very large then reloading the page with a datatable.
