Re: POST large amount of data causes segmentation fault

Scott,

Are you saying that the incoming request has a length of 42,000+ characters?

Apache docs say 8,192 characters is the maximum length of a URL.

Would it be possible to reduce the length of the request until the
segmentation fault stops occurring?
