PHP query string limit

Question

I have PHP 5.1.6 (cli) installed, and whenever a GET request string contains more than 128 characters, it fails with an HTTP 406 Not Acceptable error. Any suggestions on how I can fix this can use more than 128 characters? POST is not an option.

The error is returned by the server, so do not think that this is a problem with the browser. And the reason I think this is PHP, not Apache, is that it works great with an HTML file.

BTW, http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E406.html:

(, - CheckUpDown) - , -. "accept headers" :

• : MIME, . , ( HTML, GIF ..), , .
• Accept-Charset: , .
• Accept-Encoding: data encoding accepted by the client, for example. file formats are understood.
• Accept-Language: natural languages ​​(English, German, etc.) accepted by the client.
• Accept-Ranges: whether the client accepts byte ranges from the resource, i.e. part of the resource.

If the web server detects that the data it wants to return does not fit the client, it returns a header containing 406 error code.
