414 - URI Too Long

Today I learned that sometimes a URI can be too long. There's no a set length - it can vary by server, and some might not even enforce it - but it can happen. And when it does, you'll get a 414 - URI Too Long.

So next time you sling a long array of ids into a query string, beware the 414.
