Troubleshoot

I'm encountering an error and reviewing the docs at /flg~eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9._f3-_Q.ZOfuvgwc17UXOnuV_FfLPOC7xruJEN_dHxyL66wdDWQ/docs/errors/URL_TOO_LONG to understand what's happening. Please help me resolve this by: 1. **Suggest the fix**: Analyze my codebase context and propose what needs to be changed to resolve this error 2. **Explain the root cause**: Break down why this error occurred: - What was the code actually doing vs. what it needed to do? - What conditions triggered this specific error? - What misconception or oversight led to this? 3. **Teach the concept**: Help me understand the underlying principle: - Why does this error exist and what is it protecting me from? - What's the correct mental model for this concept? - How does this fit into the broader framework/language design? 4. **Show warning signs**: Help me recognize this pattern in the future: - What should I look out for that might cause this again? - Are there similar mistakes I might make in related scenarios? - What code smells or patterns indicate this issue? 5. **Discuss alternatives**: Explain if there are different valid approaches and their trade-offs My goal is to fix the immediate issue while building lasting understanding so I can avoid and resolve similar errors independently in the future.

To troubleshoot this error, follow these steps:

  1. Shorten the URL: Simplify the URL by reducing the length of the path segments and the query string
  2. Reduce query parameters: If the URL has many query parameters, consider reducing the number of parameters or use POST method instead where the parameters can be sent in the body of the request
  3. Use POST method: If the long URL is a result of a form submission, consider changing the form method from GET to POST
  4. Check for unintended redirection: Ensure there isn't a redirection loop or logic that is appending to the URL causing it to grow in length with each redirect
