[9.191][BUG] HTTP Proxy "exceeded pcre limit on ..." reached

Sascha Paris
If I try to register on the hp website online shop https://h20386.www2.hp.com/SwitzerlandStore/Merch/SimpleRegistration.aspx, it will not work due following messages:

Somehow all this informations in the URL will make it's size little too big for the pcre scanner ?

    i can understand that..however i'm seeing this error with increasing frequency in my utm installations just using everyday sites.  It seems either regex needs to have more ram allocated to it or another system needs to be used.  Of course memory constraints can also be solved by making the minimum ram in the UTM appliances 4 gigs instead of 2.  I'm actually advocating for 8 at this point as even 4 is running into usage constraints with 9.x...might want to tune the kernel in UTM so it doesn't cache so aggressively as well..[:)]
