Answer 2

THE DREADED "BAD REQUEST" STRIKES AGAIN



If "your browser sent a request that this server could not understand"

and "size of request header field exceeds server limit", your request

is a bad or oversized cookie. (The same thing is true for "Error 400").



For some very strange reason, it seems 9 of

10 Bad Request messages implicate Firefox.



Simply delete your "Cookies" and everything

will be okay. Don't worry about erasing them;

nothing bad will happen. You won't lose your

internet browser's "Bookmarks" or "Favorites".

The worst thing that could happen is you will

be asked to retype your username/password

when you return to YouTube and some other

websites -- that's all.



As you're dumping your cookies, you should

also erase all your "Temporary Internet Files"

and "History". This will render your computer

totally "fresh" in YouTube's eyes. It would be

best if you shutdown / reboot after doing this:



Internet Explorer 6:

→ Tools → Internet Options

→ Delete Cookies → OK

→ Delete Files → OK

→ Clear History → Yes

→ OK



Internet Explorer 7:

→ Tools → Internet Options → Delete...

→ Delete files → Yes

→ Delete cookies → OK

→ Delete history → OK

→ Close (browsing history window)

→ OK



Mozilla Firefox 3:

→ Tools → Clear Private Data

[x] Browsing History

[x] Download History

[x] Saved Form and Search History

[x] Cache

[x] Cookies

→ Clear Private Data Now



Apple Safari 3:

→ Edit → Preferences

→ Security (tab) → Show Cookies

→ Remove All → Done

then afterwards:

→ Safari → Empty Cache → Empty

then afterwards:

→ History → Clear History

Answer 3

Alternate Web Browsers.

If you're using Firefox, use Safari or Opera.

If you're using Safari, use Opera or Firefox.

If you're using Opera, use Firefox or Safari.



Those are the only things I can think of that will help you. This is a packet problem. For some reason, you're sending super large requests.



It's like telling a waiter you want 9 million different types of sirloins all at once and he can't write it down fast enough. Your browser is doing the same thing to Youtube. Essentially, "I want to see your website" but it's saying it 9 million times.

Answer 4

you need to reset your browser go to tools internet options and click the advanced tab then click on the reset button and that should fix it

Answer 5
