Hello!

Issue 407 (http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?
id=407) describes a bug from 2008 that drops all HTTP headers with a
name and value longer than 498 characters. The bug is marked as
fixed, but I'm seeing this effect right now, in production, on an app-
specific (X-...) header.

I've also commented on the original thread (http://groups.google.com/
group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/dd40c9912d727414/
e626b58671cc80e2?show_docid=e626b58671cc80e2&fwc=1#) from 2008 that
mentioned this issue, but I thought I'd start a new thread too.

I'm a little desperate for a solution, as I hadn't anticipated the
issue (it doesn't occur in the development environment, and definitely
isn't mentioned in any documentation as a deliberate limit), and am
now hearing from customers encountering problems with the recently-
updated app. So, if possible, I'd be very grateful for a quick fix.

Many thanks,
Michael

Just bumping this - anyone at Google around to take a look at this
bug? It's a little urgent still, I'm afraid.
