If you put over 2048 characters into the POST data field of an uptime check and save the check, anything beyond the first 2048 characters is stripped when the check is saved (with no warning).
If you use the "Test Check" option, you get a message stating "We are sorry, but there was an error. Please try again." (trying again doesn't help).
I was only able to work out the limitation by googling and coming across this blog post:
https://royal.pingdom.com/make-the-most-of-your-http-check-best-practice-for-optional-settings/
It would be really useful if this limit could be raised as 2048 characters (~2kb overall HTTP request) is too small for my use case (and most use cases, I imagine: you mention SOAP requests in the blog and they are typically very chatty).
I appreciate this would incur an overhead on Pingdom infrastructure. If this isn't something you intend to support, in-line UI validation with error messages would be useful to at least save users having to diagnose this sort of problem.
Thanks,
