Maximum length of URL string

Hi Marek,

Thanks for trying Xibo.

In theory there should not be a maximum length for the URL - however I
wonder if it might be to do with the way I am sanitising the URL form input.
I notice that it removes everything after the first &.

I will look into this for you later on today and create a bug report if I am
right. I am sure I can also make a patch available to you so you dont need
to wait for 1.0.0-rc3.

I will let you know.

Thanks,
Dan
