[Chameleon] Application "breaks" when more than 20 layers are turned on

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hi Blaine,

indeed the urls were getting too long in the HTTP GET case, that's the 
cause. Apparently Firefox's character limit is higher than IE's.

It was one of my first Chameleon pitfalls as well a few years ago.

If you encounter any more problems, don't hesitate to ask the 
chameleon-users list again.

Best regards,
Bart
