Ok, here is the update and how I got this fixed. For those of you on IIS and URLScan, make sure you have this limit to be at least the length passed back by Google. In my case my query string was 247 characters long (container=open&mid=1&v=817ec610393f7331fe728044932d21e&lang=all&country=ALL &view=home&up_refID=WS060900DY000000&source=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ccrane.com %2Fgadgets%2Ftest.aspx&parent=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ccrane.com%2Fgadgets %2Ftest.aspx&libs=core%3Acore.io) Once I updated this parameter and rebooted IIS, BINGO my gadget started to work.
