Exceeding message size limit fails silently

[njam]

When sending a message with a size of approximately 40kb or greater the message is not delivered. There's not error about that from hubot-hipchat.

Reproduce with this:

module.exports = function(robot) {
  return robot.catchAll(function(chat) {
    chat.send('x'.repeat(40000));
  });
};

Do we receive something back from the server from which we can identify this case? Or should we detect it in hubot-hipchat?

+1 for the issue. Possible cause: hipchat api has a message body length limit: 1 - 10000 https://www.hipchat.com/docs/apiv2/method/send_room_notification
