"400 Bad Request" when linking to some deals

[GuavaTooo]

So this just started happening in the past week...

If I click provided links on SD, sometimes my request goes through. But most of the time I'm getting the following message:

400 Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

Cookie: .... lists cookie I'm assuming....

And I know it's something on this end because other people are thanking the OP. :lol:

Any ideas... please?

Clearing your cookies will fix the problem. If it's a hassle to delete your cookies, let me know which links are causing it and I can provide you with the domains to delete the cookies for.

I don't want to have to clear my cookies... I guess I will if it's the only solution.

It has happened on some of the Kohl's deals. If it directs me to their general sale, I can go. If it directs me to a specific item, I get the "400 Bad Request." Most recently it happened with this Sears post (http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?t=795187). Clicking any of the links made by brisar came up "400 Bad Request."

It's not only on SD. I stated it that way, but it happens on other sites.... as long as it's a long address that I'm clicking to. Like it really means it - "Size of a request header field exceeds server limit."

OK... I just tried the link using Internet Explorer and it worked. So it's an issue with Firefox. Does this help? Probably makes it more difficult...

Click on tools, options, privacy tab, show cookies. Then search for "cc-dt.com" and delete those cookies. That should hopefully correct your problem.
