IE hangs on use of AlphaImageLoader with complex src URL

Hi,

I've successfully been using the AlphaImageLoader to force transparency
in pngs. However, URLs like the following hang the browser. It appears
to be processing, but never loads the tranformed image. When I use a
png with a simpler URL in the same code, it works fine. The URL looks
like this:

/RenderServlet?ts=1152754702507&cid=1152750998608-24039671&dpi=31.764706&hlic=%23CC0000&hliid=1.8.2&hliw=0.05&oph=270&opw=349&qa=0.9&vph=8.5&vpw=11.0&vpx=0.10000000149011612&vpy=0.10000000149011612

Does anybody know if there is a length limit on the src property of the
filter? Or if one of the characters in my URL might be causing the
problem?

Thanks!

Hi SB,

There was a browser exploit that used an unusually long url to create a
'buffer overflow' and gain control of a machine, Perhaps search Knowledge
Base for 'buffer overflow'. Possibly also try using URLEncode or change your
request to a POST i/o a GET.
or just shorten your url (remove unused parameters that can be replaced by
default values detected on your server side code)

Regards.
