Martin Grigorov resolved WICKET-4407.
-------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

I don't like the suggested fix. The same problem may happen with any other 
mapper too if you add too long segment in the url. For example using 
BookmarkableMapper with a class which name is more than 260 chars...
It is much better to set the registry entry to bigger value or 0 as described 
at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/820129 and don't care about such problems.
                
> Url segments in CryptoMapper may be larger than 260 chars => HTTP 400 - 'Bad 
> request' when using IIS

> CryptoMapper encrypts the whole Url into a single segment. As a result the 
> encrypted url segment can be very long (> 260 characters). The default 
> maximum url segment size for IIS is 260 characters (see 
> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/820129). The warning note for changing this 
> default is "Changing this registry key is considered extremely dangerous. 
> This key causes Http.sys to use more memory and may increase vulnerability to 
> malicious attacks." 
> I've created my own CryptoMapper that puts the encrypted request in a request 
> parameter. This works fine, but it would be nice to have this as a 
> (configurable | default) behavior of CryptoMapper.
