[rt-users] [ERROR] Request-URI Too Large

[Gene LeDuc]

This looks like an RT design error.  For some reason it is passing a list 
containing every user's id via the URL.  If the list of users is long 
enough you will certainly break something.  Since you can't select which 
users to dump into the file (other than including disabled users), there's 
really no reason to have to pass the user list to the handler - it will 
always dump either all users or all users that aren't disabled.

Gene
