Generates a big URL like this one:
Code:

My config.php has the following allowed characters:
Code:
$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-zA-Z 0-9~%.:_\-\?&=';
And my error is of course as follows:
Code:
An Error Was Encountered
The URI you submitted has disallowed characters.
Tried escaping the characters in every combination with no success. Ran the string above against the long URL using regex buddy and its valid. Anyone got a clue what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT:
Apparently, I forgot to enable the query strings :p
Code:
$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;
Normally, if this is set to false, the URL will still load (and just ignore the GET data) unless the GET values stuck at the end reach a certain string length, then it starts to fail.
EDIT2:
Just an FYI, there is a maximum string length to your GET query before CI goofs up and tells you that it contains disallowed characters, even if you have query strings enabled and all of your characters excused!
