I keep receiving a "Bad Request - Request Too Long HTTP Error 400" error, how could I fix it?
The "HTTP Error 400 Size of the request headers is too long." refers to a Web browser communication issue between the client (user's computer) and the Web server (users are trying to connect). The client and server use the header to define the request. Some webservers set an upper limit for the length of headers.
