Pasting a particular code snippet fails with "The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."

When I give the Roslyn Quoter web app the following code sample...

[UnityEngine.CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "Contexts", menuName = "Entitas/Contexts", order = 0)]
public partial class Contexts : UnityEngine.ScriptableObject, Entitas.IContexts {

    public ConfigContext config { get; set; }
    public EngineInputContext engineInput { get; set; }
    public GameContext game { get; set; }
    public GlobalContext global { get; set; }
    public StatusContext status { get; set; }
    public TimerContext timer { get; set; }
    public UiContext ui { get; set; }

    public Entitas.IContext[] allContexts { get { return new Entitas.IContext [] { config, engineInput, game, global, status, timer, ui }; } }

    private void OnEnable() {
        config = new ConfigContext();
        engineInput = new EngineInputContext();
        game = new GameContext();
        global = new GlobalContext();
        status = new StatusContext();
        timer = new TimerContext();
        ui = new UiContext();

        var postConstructors = System.Linq.Enumerable.Where(
            GetType().GetMethods(),
            method => System.Attribute.IsDefined(method, typeof(Entitas.CodeGeneration.Attributes.PostConstructorAttribute))
        );

        foreach (var postConstructor in postConstructors) {
            postConstructor.Invoke(this, null);
        }
    }

    private void OnDisable() {
        ResetContexts();
    }

    public void ResetContexts() {
        var contexts = allContexts;
        for (int i = 0; i < contexts.Length; i++) {
            contexts[i]?.Reset();
        }
    }
}

...and with the following configuration...

• Parse as: File
• Open parenthesis on a new line (false)
• Closing parenthesis on a new line (false)
• Preserve original whitespace (false)
• Keep redundant API calls (false)
• Do not require using static Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.SyntaxFactory; (false)

...and then click the Get Roslyn API calls to generate this code! button, I get this error instead of code output:

The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

As a workaround, I can break the posted snippet into smaller blocks and submit those instead. (I'm not using the generated code verbatim, I'm using it as a reference for my own code.)

I believe this happens due to a query string length limit of 2048 characters (which is encountered because RoslynQuoter encodes your code into the query string of a GET request). So quoting shorter pieces of code is exactly the right workaround.

Another possible workaround is running RoslynQuoter locally (the limit doesn't seem to apply in that case).

[KirillOsenkov]

What do you guys think is the best way to improve this experience?

1. Display a better error message?
2. Limit the number of chars one can enter into the text area?
3. Find another way to pass larger strings to the web service?

[JesseTG]

I'd prefer Option 3, but Options 2 and 1 are fine if you're short on time.

Is it possible to send strings to the service as a POST request?

[KirillOsenkov]

This seems to be fixed now.
