This is odd. That URL shows no issues of any kind from here or in
redbot. It may be related to your Squid being very old, or something
going wrong for this traffic - if you see many errors for this domain it
would be worth looking into.

Squid has an 8KB limit on URL length.

I have now added a page to the wiki documenting this log message
<https://wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/UrlTooLarge>

Please upgrade your Squid. These messages only occur in very outdated
v3.1 or older Squid.

Some of these can be resolved by updating your squid-langpack
translations and ensuring the alias symlinks are installed. The others I
am adding to the pack now. Thank you for the info.
