Description of problem:
When I add more than 50 VIPS (aprox number), in the Virtual Servers tab in piranha-gui if I select any VIP, and I click "Edit", the response is "TOO MANY ARGUMENTS IN URL" and looking the URL that is trying to open its made with a combination of ALL the VIPs.

Additional info:

Changing some lines in the virtual_main.php file works again:

@Carlos:

Thanks for a patch, I will clone it to RHEL5 and RHEL6 where it can be fixed. RHEL4 is now in very late stage and only very important and security fixes can be included. Situation differs for newer versions where this kind of bugs should be surely fixed and yours patch provides a good solution.
