POST fails when the parameters are too long.

[voidberg]

When doing a POST request, the parameters are sent appended to the url as well. If the url is too large (e.g. over jetty's default 8192) then the request will fail with a "414 - Request-URI Too Large".

Thanks for the feedback. Will review that today.

Would you mind posting an example of a schema and a long request? Even a data-filler script to help reproduce would be very useful. @voidberg

Here's an example: https://gist.github.com/voidberg/620b11405af1a1373e8a

You can test this against any instance that runs jetty, the schema doesn't matter since the request will not get to Solr.

This can also trigger another error, 413 Payload Too Large, if the size of the post data being repeated in the get request is too large.

AH! I ran into the exact same thing today and came to the exact same solution, opening #177. Will close that one.

Though the issue here could be 'query string appended to URL redundantly in post requests', as one could argue this is unexpected even for simple short queries.
