 * Hi,
 * Sometimes, when people come on my website and click on prettylinks, they have
   this error :
 * “Bad Request
 * Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
    Size of a
   request header field exceeds server limit. Cookie /n “
 * Thay cant access any other links.
 * I think its a pretty link probleme because i have this error too, and when i 
   remove “prli_click****” cookies, i can access to links again
 * How can i solve that?
 * Thanks in advance

    is there a way to
   avoid these cookies ?
 * I’ve disabled “Track Link ” and activated the “Simple Click Count Tracking”, 
   but it still put cookies

 * It causes the HTTP header size to be larger than it should be, try clearing your
   cookies on your site.
