I apologize if this is a duplicate email, but it looks like from my end that
something didn't post correctly...

Anyway, I figured out why I'm getting this error. From the bb-network.logfile:
2007-12-24 23:14:28 content-check, but no content-data in 'cont;
https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOSTNAME:9212/monitoring/MonitorControlServlet?monitorName=com.company.common.util.monitoring.URLMonitor&url=https://HOSTNAME:9212/LBListener/MessageReceiver&fullDisplay=true&isPost=true&TLSAction=hotelearningssummaryextract&TLSService=HotelEarnings&payload=<https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@hostname:9212/monitoring/MonitorControlServlet?monitorName=com.company.common.util.monitoring.URLMonitor&url=https://HOSTNAME:9212/LBListener/MessageReceiver&fullDisplay=true&isPost=true&TLSAction=hotelearningssummaryextract&TLSService=HotelEarnings&payload=><TLSBatchRQ><Parameters><Parameter'


So it appears the full URL from the bb-hosts file is getting truncated. The
limit looks to be around 370 (or at least more than 256), and I can't find
anywhere to override this, so it appears to be hard-coded without looking
through the actual code.
