Bug #3991: Webrick doesnt except long URIs RequestURITooLarge
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/3991

If your URI (plus the protocol portions) is longer than 1024 bytes you get an error of RequestURITooLarge

It is valid in the standard to have a URI longer than 1024 bytes.

Specifically this breaks support for OpenID.

Patch is easy.

class httprequest.rb 
method read_request_line

change 1024 to something more reasonable.

I updated mine to 2083 which is the maximum length IE supports
