That URL is from our log files; I masked our domain name (see below). 
We are getting calls made with very long parameters made every couple of 
minutes and since they all from Windows NT machines, I suspect it's a 
virus that the user might not even be aware of.  Anyway, whether it's a 
virus or deliberate attempt to crack our systems, I would like to guard 
our parameters, so only appropriate size and content is passed in.
