I am debugging a test case. I use Python's OptionParser (from optparse) to do some testing and one of the options is a HTTP request.
The input in this specific case for the http request was 269KB in size.
So my python program fails with "Argument list too long" (I verified that there was no other arguments passed, just the request and one more argument as expected by the option parser. When I throw away some of the request and reduce its size, things work fine. So I have a strong reason to believe the size of the request is causing my problems here.)
Is it possible for a HTTP request to be that big ?
If so how do I fix the OptionParser to handle this input?
Typical limit is 8KB, but it can vary (like, be even less).
Is a HTTP Get request of size 269KB allowed?
