[Citadel Development] (no subject)

[IGnatius T Foobar]

Well, that was fun. 
  
 A spammer just *completely* knocked uncensored.citadel.org flat on its ass,
by sending thousands of these: 
  
 http://pastebin.com/EDNz6smK 
  
 Perhaps when we throw a "URLkey to long" [sic] error, we shouldn't display
the whole thing.  Thousands of these filled up my syslog and rendered the
whole server unusable. 
  
 On the other hand, citserver detected the 'disk full' condition beautifully,
demonstrating that our Berkeley DB based architecture is robust and solid
-- at least, when it is not in the hands of a paid Z* astroturfer.
