What it really is, is the following. IBM is REALLY bad with cookies and cache. So if you clear that stuff from your browser it will start working.
I currently have four browsers open: Edge, IE, FF, Chrome.
I'm trying to use Edge as primary (and that's a debate I don't want to get into).
But sometimes it flakes out on IBM. If I do not have too many tabs open I may clear those cookies and stuff then. If I do have too many tabs and stuff open I'll just start using one of the other browsers until I can get around to it. But it's not just Edge. Sometimes one of the other browsers has the same issue, with the same resolution.

I've been getting a similar message intermittently when using FF only
with IBM sites..

404-Bad Request

Yikes - we didn't catch all of that
The system received a request that cannot be understood. This is most
likely due to there being too many cookies being transmitted.
Click the buttons below to clear all ibm.com cookies and reload the page
Clear ibm.com Cookies
Reload

Then I tried the same page with IE, worked fine.

Could be an issue where some IBM pages are not 100% compatible with FF.

Getting this on most IBM sites:
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.



Anyone else seeing this, or is it on my end?
