Description:
------------
Putting a long URL into simplexml_load_file:

symptom: Apache does not return any data.  Chopping params off the query to make it < 255 characters long, however, works.

Reproduce code:
---------------
simplexml_load_file('http://aws-beta.amazon.com/onca/xml?Service=AWSProductData&SubscriptionId=1WY05MXT3WM2PXMB12G2&AssociateTag=harappabazaar&ResponseGroup=Medium&Operation=ItemSearch&SearchIndex=Electronics&BrowseNode=281052&ItemPage=1&Sort=price&MaximumPrice=40000&MinimumPrice=30000');

Expected result:
----------------
For it to work same as shorter urls.

Actual result:
--------------
Document contains no data; apache crashes.
