title: Request URI too long via POST request
body: <p>I'm sending a POST request via <code>Net</code> as such:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  http    = Net::HTTP.new(mixpanel_endpoint.host, mixpanel_endpoint.port)
    request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(mixpanel_endpoint.request_uri)
    http.request(request)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The issue is that the request_uri is over the max limit. It's a BASE64 encoded string.</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody know what to do about this?</p>
