Ray, I agree but that restriction is pretty common for very very old browsers (like IE 5 or maybe 6) but I haven't seen it be a problem recently. .NET pages in particular can generate famously long URLs. My guess is that it get's mangled by the redirect somehow - or that some intermediate engine (like dotdefender) changes it or precludes it in some fashion. On one of the other lists I read about dotdefender stopping a request that had redirected more than 1 time for example.

Some browsers may be more strict about it.
