      We have a multi-tier web site and run performance and available checks to each tier. One of those tiers is a marklogic database and the nature of those tests means that the urls that we need to query can be very long. Our urls for querying marklogic can be over 6000 characters long and we cannot change them as that is what is being generated in the live environment...

      I reference these urls in zabbix by specifying the url like this:

      http://

      {SERVERNAME} {URL}

      Using this approach allows us to store these bug urls in mysql without truncation.

      However, I'm seeing that when the request hits the remote server the url has been truncated to 2055 characters.I assume it is the HTTP poller that is doing this...

      Please can you increase the max url length that the http poller can accept to a value significantly longer than it currently is? I'm sure that other large websites are likely to experience similar problems to this.
