Error 414 Request-URI Too Large - The requested URL /accounts/ServiceLogin... is too large to process.

Have you been experiencing the following error in Gmail:

Error 414 Request-URI Too Large - The requested URL /accounts/ServiceLogin... is too large to process.?

Well I have. Here's a simple work around that will get us by until google gets on top of the problem.

1) Go to another google service (google reader for instance, or google docs) and sign into your account there using you google ID

2) now go to gmail and it should work!

the infinite redirect problem is associated with the signing in process, so this seems to sidestep this isssue.

Hope this helps!
