Error "...browser sent a request that this server could not understand" | Scene7

Issue

Is there a URL length maximum the Scene7 W2P server can work with? I get a "Bad Request" error when the URL is long:

"Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Reference #7.9cc15fc3.1352977743.0."

Solution

This error indicates a browser limitation with the URL length. All web browsers limit the number of characters that can be used in a single URL request. Internet Explorer is the most restrictive with a limit of 2048 characters. FireFox lets you go up to double that.

Scene7 doesn't have a limit to the size of a request you can submit to our servers.

Regardless, Scene7 does allow the use of the POST method for requests.
