[Mapserver-users] Error 414 (Request-URI Too Long) on IIS

[Antti.Roppola at brs.gov.au]

Also,

I know of at least one corporate firewall that truncates URLs
with more than 1000 characters in them to protect web servers
from potential overloading exploits.

Folks -

Please do not confuse various BROWSER URL limits with the SERVER issue being discussed.  You don't say which version of IIS you're using, but in IIS 5.0 the default maximum URL size is 128 KB.  You're not really creating a 128 KB URL, are you?

How long is the URL you're using?  Is it defective in any way?
