Summary10276: Survey crash when the referrer URL is greater than 255 characters
Description

On Postgresql, the field for referrer URL is set to type 'character varying (255)'. If the referrer URL is longer than this, saving the response fails. If token based persistence is on, it will fail on the first page where response data is to be stored.

Outlook web access appears to be at least one source of such long referrer URLs, where the URL is passed through a local redirector which obfuscates the URL with a long ID string. The total length in one example is around 370 characters.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Activate a survey with 'Save Referrer Url' set to 'Yes'
  2. Access survey with a long referrer
  3. Attempt to complete the survey.
TagsNo tags attached.
