Re: [SQU] "insane length" error

This message can be seen if you have cached requests using very long
URL's. The varning message is a bit too keen on being printed.. (these
lengths are not at all insane for URLs).

The message as such is harmless, apart from the fact that it gets
written to cache.log...

If you want to get rid of it, apply the attached patch
