If your are using PAN-DB then there is an imposed limit of 1024 characters for the length of a URL, which includes both the host and the path. PAN-OS will normalize the URL by removing the following: Tab (0x09), CR (0x0d), LF (0x0a) characters from the URL Fragment parameters (e.g. www.google.com/#frag is shortened to www.google.com/) Remove hex encodings (e.g. %43 or \x43 would change to '+') Query parameters (www.google.com/search?q=abcd+xyz) becomes (www.google.com/search) After normalization, length of the final URL is checked. If it length is greater than the allowed 1024, the URL is truncated and the first 1024 characters is sent to the MP for a query.
