It's really Curt's file, anyway. :-) The problem is that HttpdChannel derives from plib's netChat class, which is really meant for line based communication, and which derives from netBufferChannel, which has a hard-coded and not configurable out-buffer of size 16384. HttpdChannel, however, dumps whole HTML pages on it, with overlong lines even. The simple (& cheesy) solution would be to just check for the size of the 'response' string, and to output an overflow error page if it's too big. But 16kB isn't *that* much for a page, it's just too much for a line, so one could also truncate overlong property values.(?) The better approach would be to replace netChat, but I'm not really keen to mess with that file shortly before a release, especially since you fixed the above bug, anyway. But it's certainly something to keep on the TODO list.
