I have looked a little closer and found that this problem is caused by 
the program "webperfcache", which looks a lot like a specialized Apache 
configured as reverse proxy. The fact that this piece of software dies 
when you try to use an URL longer than around 500 chars makes it 
completely useless. I'll report the error to Apple.

Thanks!
