Request URI too long

    When I click the “full screen” button on certain cases I get the “Request-URI Too Large” error. I’ve tried some of the potential fixes on the server side to get rid of this error without luck (for example see this link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2891574/how-do-i-resolve-a-http-414-request-uri-too-long-error).

    Basically, the issue is when I click “full screen” for a DICOM case the URL of the full screen window is incredibly long because it includes the names of all the DICOM files in that case (each of which was very long when I uploaded them). Therefore I do not get this error when I view a single chest xray in full screen because the URL is relatively short, but I do get the error when I view a thin-slice axial CTA of the head and neck that has a ton of DICOM files/images. If there was someway to shorten the URL that is produced on the full screen page then this error would go away. I’m not sure how hard this would be for you to change? Thank you so much for your help! The users of my site love the full-screen capability when its working!

    FYI, I brought this issue up before and had marked that topic as resolved because at that time I had gotten around it initially by shorting the name of the dicom files I was uploading, but I was hoping to figure out another more permanent fix because I have a lot of older cases which I would have to delete and then reupload in order for this to work because the DICOM files have longer names.

    Thank you!
    Scott

    Another way to do this is to send the info using the POST method, as when you fill in forms. You can do invisible forms that get sent when you click a link. The benefit is that this method does not have a size limit.

    I wont be able to look into this before I solve some issues with the viewer, sorry for the delay…

    For ref, the issue you mention is request-uri-too-long.

    Thank you for the response. In researching this problem, I too came across using the POST method as a potential fix. I will look into this further, but suspect the fix will be over my head as I am an amateur coder.

    I understand that you are very busy with many requests. I appreciate your time and thank you for being willing to look into this issue eventually.
