-------------------------------------
Exactly. Until that merge is properly implemented we can rely on this quickfix.
> Impose a limit on the length of outlink target urls

> In the past we have encountered situations where crawling specific broken
> sites resulted in ridiciously long urls that caused the stalling of tasks.
> The regex plugins (normalizing/filtering) processed single urls for hours, if
> not indefinitely hanging.
> My suggestion is to limit the outlink url target length as soon possible. It
> is a configurable limit, the default is 3000. This should be reasonably long
> enough for most uses. But sufficienly strict enough to make sure regex
> plugins do not choke on urls that are too long. Please see attached patch for
> the Nutchgora implementation.
> I'd like to hear what you think about this.
