+Subject: [PATCH] httputil: Apply the argument count limit to query strings
+
+parse_body_arguments limits the number of fields in a urlencoded body
+(added in 6.5.8), but HTTPServerRequest.__init__ parsed the query string
+with no such limit, so the same superlinear parsing cost was reachable
+through the request line instead of the body.
+
+Measured on the unpatched code, a query string with 400k fields took
+3.2s of CPU to parse. In the default configuration the request line is
+bounded by max_header_size (64KB), which caps this at roughly 12,700
+arguments and ~47ms per request, but that is still an order of magnitude
+past the limit the body path enforces, and applications are free to
+raise max_header_size.
+
+Pass the same max_arguments limit here. Over-limit query strings now
+raise HTTPInputError, which the server already turns into a 400.
+
+The limit is read from the global _DEFAULT_PARSE_BODY_CONFIG because
+HTTPServerRequest has no access to any per-connection configuration.
+This is the same limitation the body path already has in practice:
+_parse_body calls parse_body_arguments without a config, so the body
+limit is likewise only adjustable through set_parse_body_config.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-103261
