Request-URI Too Large errors

[andrew morton]

We've been using Google Charts to display graphs of module usage on
the Drupal project and recently some of the graphs have stopped
working: http://drupal.org/project/usage/drupal

If you try to open the image's URL Google returns a 414 error with the
message "Request-URI Too Large". The URL in question is only 2153
character long so this seems to be in direct disagreement with the FAQ
(http://code.google.com/apis/chart/faq.html#url_length) which states:
"The maximum length of a URL is not determined by the Google Chart
API, but rather by web browser and web server considerations.
Currently, URLs that are over 2048 characters in length when URL-
encoded (e.g., | becomes %7C) are not recommended."

So I'd like to ask that the limit be lifted or the FAQ be updated.
