Hi all, hi Chris,
I think there is an issue with the "Browse revisions" feature. When I invoke it on Context >> #doPrimitive:method:receiver:args:, I reproducibly get the following error:
Revisions request failed. Server 'reply' in debugger.
414 Request-URI Too Large
And indeed, the original request is a little bit large:

Hm ... does the server really need the entire source string? In theory, a hash or method timestamp or just the signature should suffice, shouldn't it? :-)
