Issue #6117 has been updated by Matt Robinson.
It looks like something to fix this issue will be necessary before we can use
puppet under Ruby 1.9, at least with Webrick. Webrick in Ruby 1.9 seems to
have a much lower tolarance for large GET requests. A very simple set of facts
that works on master running on Ruby 1.8.7 fails under Ruby 1.9.2 like so:
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 414 on SERVER:

Bug #6117: Catalog GETs should shift to POST
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6117

Status: Accepted
Priority: High

Target version: Statler
Affected Puppet version:
Keywords: catalog REST
Branch:
Hi, looking at Bug #2668 after some discussion on IRC today, I thought this
would be worth re-opening.
Brice gzip+b64 encoded the URLs which definitely helps, but IMO it just pushes
the problem out a little bit. Fact lists are always getting bigger and it'd be
great not to have to worry about running into URL length limits and clean up
the requests at the same time.

IMO this semantic correctness is way, way, way less important than doing
something sane. Shifting catalog GETs over to POSTs, with the body as facts in
x-www-form-urlencoded , allows arbitrary length of facts without making insane
URLs.
