Stop generating too long URL:s

Description (last modified by )
If a list page is configured to display many columns (around 50+), you may get strange errors saying that you have been logged out or that the server has been restarted. This happens because the URL BASE generates to navigate is too long and may get truncated. This is only an issue with Internet Explorer but may also be affected by web server limitations or proxies.
See mailing list for information: http://www.mail-archive.com/basedb-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01006.html
Possible workarounds:
1) Do not display too many columns.
2) Use Firefox instead of IE.

Have now worked through the 'roles' test procedure and not found any problems.

I'll change the "GET" request to a "POST" instead. The only issue with this may be that the browser complains with a question asking if the POST data should be resubmitted. This is very annoying, but should not be a problem as long as we do 'redirect' instead of 'forward' back to the list page. A quick search can't find any such places in the code.
