Comment(by sjamaan):

 Replying to [comment:5 RvdH]:
 > Who said the requests were bogus? The HTTP specification does not
 specify a limit, so the client can't know what the limit is, unless the
 server sends a 431.

 What client is intelligent enough to fix the situation when it exceeds the
 length?

 This information is only ever useful to developers, and they can either
 look in the logs or complain to the server's admin who can do the same.
