Has anyone found a way to get around Internet Explorer's 2083
character URL length limitation in GNATSWeb? (besides not using
IE -- some of my users would revolt if I took that option away).

2083 seems like a lot, but when doing Advanced Queries the column
names and such add up very quickly!

Hello Tim,

It can be solved by removing empty parameters from the query url. This was
done partially and inconsistently. Just follow these steps to change your
gnatsweb.pl.

1) Add this function:
sub strip_empty_params
  {
  my ($url) = @_;
  $url =~ s/(\w|-)+=;//g;
  return $url;
  }

2) Change every occurence of "$q->self_url()" with
"strip_empty_params($q->self_url())"
exception in: my ($query_string) = strip_empty_params($q->self_url() =~
m/^[^?]*\?(.*)$/);
remove eventual lines like "$query_string =~ s/(\w|-)+=;//g;" following the
changed line

3) idem with this line in sub store_query:
my $query_string = $q->query_string();


Regards
-- Alwin
