Increase Url Length

I need to add the following URL to a link module but it seems its getting cutoff. I've increased the size of the URL column in table Links but it's still getting cutoff. Any ideas, and please don't suggest to change the URL I put in because I have no control over it.

http://dotptpbkkgf91.tp.dot.state.fl.us/LaneClosureManagement/Web/Reports/SummaryReportRender.aspx?chkClosureNotices=on&ddlClosureType=All&chkDaytime=on&ddlStatus=All&ddlRoadToBeClosed=All&ddlDirection=All&txtMilepostMin=&txtMilepostMax=&txtEnteredFromDate=&txtEnteredToDate=&ddlRequestSource=All&ddlBIC=All&selPrimarySort=roadway&selSecondarySort=startendmps&selReportDetail=Summary&txtClosureFromDate=12/2/2008&txtClosureToDate=4/17/2009

Link looks like this on the published page:

Re: Increase Url Length

url is dealt with in module (datalayer and BCL) as well as URL control (part of DNN core framework). I am not sure, which of these components add length restrictions.

Re: Increase Url Length

This might be something that would be nice to have a setting for in Host Settings. Something where it still requires a manual change on the DB but can be set for the code to check on BCL.

Re: Increase Url Length

a workaround to these long urls would be to use a url shortening servicea, such as tinyurl.com. Your very long url would be changed into this by tinyurl: http://tinyurl.com/djzgda
