Hello Felix, I agree with you, we need to improve this. I have faced it also. I would go for this: * Only display text responses, when they are not too large (what is large? 32KB? 1MB?). If response is too big, display a warning page with a button to show the complete result, to allow users to proceed.
But is it only about long text or about long text with no space ? IME, it happened in the latter case.
