Request-URI Too Long

Message text: Request-URI Too Long



What causes this issue?

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, when the client
has descended into a URI "black hole" of redirection (e.g., a redirected
URI prefix that points to a suffix of itself), or when the server is
under attack by a client attempting to exploit security holes present in
some servers using fixed-length buffers for reading or manipulating the
Request-URI.
