[squid-users] URL too large??

[Yuri Voinov]

It means exactly what it said: URL too long.

In Squid's defaults set 8k for URL size. This was reasonable maximum 10
years ago.

Now it seems too small (at least 4 times) because of now Internet full
of adware bullshit (referrals/trackers/counters etc.) which is often
more 8k.

You can easy fix it (if you worry about it. It seems for end-user like
hang/broken links) if you build squid from source. Just change vaule
MAX_URL in src/defines.h and recompile.

But if you do this, beware - some things become slower, and danger of
deinal of service exists.

That's it.

WBR, Yuri
