Bug #3991: Webrick doesnt except long URIs RequestURITooLarge

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: -
• Target version: -
• ruby -v: 1.9

=begin
If your URI (plus the protocol portions) is longer than 1024 bytes you get an error of RequestURITooLarge

It is valid in the standard to have a URI longer than 1024 bytes.

Specifically this breaks support for OpenID.

Patch is easy.

class httprequest.rb
method read_request_line

change 1024 to something more reasonable.

I updated mine to 2083 which is the maximum length IE supports
