Max URL length?

Max URL length?
Howdy,
I verified my links for the first time and ran across a problem. Some of the links came back as 404 because the URL appeared to have been truncated. This only happened on links with long URL's. How can I fix this? I can't change the length of other peoples URL's but assume I can change a configuration on my end.

Thanks!
Clark

Yes.

You cna change the values in links.def in the admin directory.

This is weird though, you should have got an error message. This is what I get ...

in Links.def

it should look something like this

Code:
URL => [4, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, 'http://', '^http|news|mailto|ftp'],

increase the bold number to increase the max length

Agree with the solution,
but,
just to note we had the problem and ALSO never discovered it until we ran the link checker (i.e. no warning message on data entry).
