Request large error

Rails
1

Hello friends,

<%= link_to “Generate Report”, {:action => ‘generate_report’ ,:users =>
all_users.map{|u| u.id}.join(",")}%>

The above action generates report for the users.
As per the filter results the all_users array length would be vary.
if the all_users array length is 3500.
when i click the above link to genearte report for the 3500 users it
gives me error like below

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: [no URL]

The following error was encountered:

* The request or reply is too large.

  If you are making a POST or PUT request, then your request body

(the thing you are trying to upload) is too large. If you are making a
GET request, then the reply body (what you are trying to download) is
too large. These limits have been established by the Internet Service

Looks that you are behind a proxy (maybe transparent one). It is
working on localhost?

In Fire Fox behind Proxy it is not working but when it has got no Proxy
it works.
But in IE it works behind Proxy and without Proxy settings.but in IE the
link to helper passes id 1 to 351 only
but actually it has to pass 3375 ids.Firefox passes it properly.
what could be the problem.
any ideas and suggestions Please.

Sounds like Maximum URL length is 2,083 characters in Internet Explorer - Microsoft Support

Hello friends,

all_users.map{|u| u.id}.join(“,”)}%>

Instead of sending all the ids, which as you note below ends up with a
request that is too large, send other information that you can use in
the controller to determine the list of users, for example in the
given case you could say
:users => ‘all’
