know what, it's just too long. I assumed it was only the log message was just truncated, but the bytestring getting passed to CDXObject is clearly actually truncated, maybe by uwsgi/nginx? Aren't really long urls a security issue?
If I patch pywb to only append short form-encoded data to the url, the trace goes away.
So interesting! Let's find out what the limit is, and impose it!

Kind of. If I understand correctly, programs (especially C programs) could have underlying security issues that would only be exploitable with more than X bytes submitted -- which could be large X, say 2^16 or 2^32 bytes for an integer overflow rather than a buffer overflow. That could be a defense-in-depth reason for (especially C) programs to set arbitrary limits on values that are expected not to get that large. A separate and probably more common reason would be performance -- you can just allocate an X-sized buffer instead of arranging to grow as needed.
Above is offered for fun -- in practice I think we're doing the right thing as long as we're doing our stuff in managed languages like Python/Ruby/JS, and configuring underlying C programs according to their docs.
