This normally takes over a third of the amount of space for a cookie or a query. This is then used to return the user to their previous query. After a edit, this is used to take the user back. Often this is not where the user wants to go. This may cause the execution of a long query or the user just wants to see their edits. I believe that the interface can be changed slightly to not remember the return URL and not save it in cookies. After an edit, the user can go to the view interface for the GNAT that was just updated. Do users depend on the return_URL feature? Thoughts?

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 -----Original Message----- From: Tim Buck [mailto:tbuck@rrinc.com] Sent: mercredi, 26. janvier 2005 22:44 To: help-gnats@gnu.org Subject: [GNATSWeb] URL length limitation in IE 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!
