Uri too long

[TylerBarnes]

Some servers will error if the URI is too long. Since the query is encoded into the url, this will sometimes be problematic.
When the query is removed from the url, the query still loads into the page. I assume from local storage. Is there a reason to encode the query in the url?

@TylerBarnes I believe the reason to encode it in the url was to make it shareable. I could copy the URL, share it with someone else, and when they paste it the query / mutation would be in GraphiQL for them to execute.

If I'm not mistaken, @henrikwirth borrowed code from Gatsby's implementation of GraphiQL. So if this is buggy behavior, there's a chance that Gatsby also has some buggy behavior. Might be worth checking Gatsby to make sure (or borrow more code if it's fixed over there 😄)

Ah, makes sense. Maybe we should just set a reasonable upper limit on that then
