It won't exactly be *fixed* by bug 15809, but it will make it extremely unlikely
to happen.
However, I'd agree this is a bug, so I'll confirm it.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
OS: Windows 2000 → All
Hardware: PC → All
Version: unspecified → 2.10

Hi guys,
Does it look like this will be fixed in the next Bugzilla release? If so, do you have any idea when the next release will be?
Thanks,
Graeme

Do you have an example URL that causes this in IE?
I don't get the error in IE with the uber-long URL from bug 281325.
But with FF 1.5 and trunk I do get an error, noted in bug 344222
Request-URI Too Large
The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this server.
Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server at bugzilla-test.mozilla.org Port 443

when you paste the URL into IE, it silently truncates it.
in IE the url ends in
component=Disability+Access&
which is 2047 characters.
however if you paste the url into notepad, you'll see it actually ends in
&value0-0-0=
there are also server-side limits -- the screenshot on bug 281325 is the web server rejecting the request, not firefox.

byron, quite correct, thanks. I was expecting an "error" per the comments and summary, but I got query results.

for reference, this is worse if you use ms outlook, which doesn't mention that it decided not to send the full link to the browser :).

Here's the relevant Apache limit:
httpd-2.2.8/include/httpd.h: #define DEFAULT_LIMIT_REQUEST_LINE 8190
Exceeding this limit produces this message:
Request - URI Too Large
The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this erver.
Request failed: URI too long

Oops -- typo. Second line of error message should be
The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this server.

This is now less severe, since bug 15809 has been fixed.
Severity: major → normal
Priority: -- → P4

I noticed that this BR has been issued against version 2.10 but at my organization (Intech) we have version 3.0.5 installed, and the problem persists. Was it supposed to be fixed?
Same situation: long queries work ok in Mozilla Firefox but keep failing in MS IE.
