Actually, I found some interesting text in RFC2616[1] which I would
like to have more context about:
10.4.15 414 Request-URI Too Long
The server is refusing to service the request because the Request-URI
is longer than the server is willing to interpret. This rare condition
is only likely to occur when a client has improperly converted a POST
request to a GET request with long query information [..]
Maybe I am going to find some info about that in the references sent
out by Larry.
