332235 - getting "500 Line too long limit is 4096" when requesting bug list

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 290977

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, defect)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

when I do:

GET 'http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&email2=bugzilla%40gemal.dk&emailtype2=substring&emailreporter2=1'
I'm getting:
"500 Line too long (4131; limit is 4096)"

does bugzilla violate the http rdf spec?

The URL you provided works fine for me.  What browser are you using?

It could be a cookie header, too (provided by your browser - it's complaining about the headers your browser is sending).

Sorry not using a browser. Using perl's lwp GET command from command line. From a cron script

Ah, cool, which means it probably wouldn't be hard to get a trace of the headers you're sending.

none. The problem is the buglist.cgi returns a header with:
Set-Cookie: BUGLIST
and the the list of bugs. and that list is more than 4096 chars long.

so this bug is about if it's ok to use a set cookie with more than 4096 chars

Yes, that's okay.  The RFC doesn't set any limit on it.

The error you're getting is actually from LWP (which is why it's working fine in other browsers).

Try adding this to your script:

push(@LWP::Protocol::https::EXTRA_SOCK_OPTS, MaxLineLength => 16*1024);

dupe of bug 15809 ?

Same problem as in bug 290977 about IE and its 2083 characters limit.
