The limit is 255 characters.
That was carried over from WIN32+DOS32.
Perhaps it should be set higher on Linux.

I guess it would be better to return -1 in this (rare)
situation. Then you could naturally treat it as a failure to
open the file, which makes sense. I'll make the change
for the next release.

By the way, your Web server worked fine for me.
I look forward to receiving your code for the
