GeoJSON URL Field Limit [#2548463]

There appears to be a string length limit being imposed on the URL Field when adding a new GeoJSON source.

For me, a typical GeoServer WFS URL via a proxy might look something like:

http://52.64.107.144/?request=http://%20my.site.com.au:8888/geoserver/Ge...

This doesn't seem to fit in the provided text box.

Turns out the default textfield maxlength value is 128 characters.

I've resolved this by modifying the sites/all/modules/openlayers/src/Plugins/Source/GeoJSON/GeoJSON.php

Starting from line 34 adding a "#maxlength" value...

public function optionsForm(&$form, &$form_state) {
    $form['options']['url'] = array(
      '#title' => t('URL'),
      '#type' => 'textfield',
      '#maxlength' => '256',
      '#default_value' => $this->getOption('url'),
    );

Version:

7.x-3.0-beta3

» 7.x-3.x-dev

I can confirm that this is still an issue in 7.x-3.x.

256 sounds like a sane default to me.

This data is stored in a serialized array in the database, so it doesn't really have an upper limit. According to this the limit is actually closer to 2000: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/417142/what-is-the-maximum-length-of-...
