3 years ago I think you're right: it's a consequence of the server properties being too large to store in the cookie. It was fine to use a cookie for storing a few strings/IDs, but not for a large JSON blob.
We could switch to using Redis or another datastore, but I'd like to avoid adding a dependency if possible.
If the config is fetched from the Micropub server each time the form is rendered that would add time to each request but would at least mean we keep below the 4K limit. That may be the best option right now. Any other ideas?

I've noticed that recently, when publishing posts to my staging server (and I think sometimes my Production server, too) I don't get the handy redirect functionality I love in Micropublish.
I'd thought it was due to the way that I'd made my Micropub endpoint perform content-negotiation, and return an HTML representation if HTML was
acceptable, but it looks like it's due to session limits, as running locally, I see:When dumping the session before it adds the URL, I see the below object, which is ~5200 bytes already:
