Imported my 2+ MB bookmarks HTML export from Firefox and got

    Oops! An ajax error occured. Please reload the page and try again.
error. (BTW 'Occured' marks my spell-check as error.)

I have a bunch of large bookmarklets and several home-baked dataURI "applications" and even few, erm, documents in base64 there, and 3k+ normal bookmarks, so Iʼm not surprised it didʼt come out well on the first shot.

I see 67 successful under second long ajax request to 'backend.php' and 68th 1s+ with null response. My userID from requests is 273.

Sorry for placing such bugreport in HN thread; other options I found were e-mail (too private) or Disqus on the Help page (too permanent and public).

Btw, IMO HTTPS really should be enforced. If I imagine what data travels over the wires readable for anyone near. I hope I haven't made simpleAuth bookmark…

Hi, thanks for posting this. I can see that you successfully imported ~3000 bookmarks. We have an issue right now with non-latin characters in category/bookmark names. This seems to be the reason for the error you are getting. We are working on a fix!

We applied the fix. Did it solve the problem for you?

Yes, error seems fixed, I see my familiar bookmark mess there now. Few remarks: - mentioned non-ASCII characters in bookmark titles are rendered in fallback font on the page - it seems you are hard trimming URLs to 300 characters. I donʼt think it is a good idea to set such a low limit (not only that it destroyed most of my dataURIs): I guess there are many URLs (with parameters perhaps) out there pleeding to be bookmarked exceeding even 1 KiB limit. To my knowledge, dangerous size for URL is considered around 2 KiB [source:google/SO], but in fact current browsers donʼt care much about the size or have limits around few MiBs.

Hey, thanks for all your feedback :). We will reconsider the bookmark length limitation.
