[MLB-WIRELESS] URL length problem with nodemap.

[Donovan Baarda]

G'day,

attempted to post to the contact at the bottom of the nodemap, but the
web-mail thingy is busted on melbourne.wireless.org.au.

The nodemap currently uses a reduced number of nodes in the nodemap for IE
because IE has known problems with long URLs. However, when using a less
braindead browser like Galeon, the full list of nodes is included in the
URL, resulting in a single URL nearly 8K long! This is so long I believe
even squid truncates it. The end result is only IE can see the nodemaps.

I would suggest changing the nodemap to use a sensible URL length limit for
all browsers, especialy now that the number of nodes is becoming quite
large.
