How about putting a serialized version of it as an attachment using a multipart-form? As long as you're using a POST in your form action there shouldn't be any set limit on the size of data that you're posting.
@problems.to_yaml (or @problems.to_json) should give you a textual format. Then in the receiving action de-serialize the yaml (or json).
