We are starting to see a lot of CGI scripts that are generating valid
(depending upon your definition of valid, I suppose. *smile*) URLs, but squid
is rejecting them because of the MAX_URL size. One of these is RealPlayer,
which just needs a tad bit more (a bit over 5000, IIRC).

Can you or anyone else think of anything to watch out for if we increase this
value? Has anyone actually _tried_ to increase it? =)

Thanks!
