Large header in response causes request to fail
I have checked the following:
- [X] I use the newest version of bruno.
- [X] I've searched existing issues and found nothing related to my issue.
Describe the bug
I have a request that returns a header with a large amount of data in it. When I run the request I get the following error:
Error invoking remote method 'send-http-request': Error: Parse Error: Header overflow
The error is actually in the parsing of the response as the data is being sent back in a cookie header. Is there a way to specify or increase the size of the header?
.bru file to reproduce the bug
No response

It might be a node.js limitation; by default, the header size is limited to 16384 bytes.
This was reduced due to various CVEs and security concerns, but you have the power to override it using the max-header-size node flag. However, this would need to be done during the build process.
As a workaround, you can try to build the project and run it with NODE_OPTIONS=--max-http-header-size=YOUR-LIMIT prefix, e.g. NODE_OPTIONS=--max-http-header-size=80000 npm run dev:electron.
Make sure your limit is expressed in bytes e.g. 80000 would mean 80,000 bytes (80 kb)

I just managed to replicate the issue with 20kb header.
The proposed solution fixes the issue and allows larger payloads in headers.
