 Replying to [comment:2 isis]:
 > I think this person also DMed me on IRC. I'd kind of like to know what
 they were doing, if they are still around and getting that response, as
 the server only does this if you respond to the CAPTCHA page with a POST
 request which contains too much data in the URL.  The amount of data for a
 normal CAPTCHA solution is well below the limit, which I think is
 something like 4KB.

 See #23609 for what they, arma, and I did. There was no response with a
 POST request etc. involved. The CAPTCHA page did not even show up. It
 works now again fwiw. Seems like a WORKSFORME now.
