parlov-elicit 0.3.0

//! `LongUriElicitation` -- pads the probe URL to ~16 KB.
//!
//! Appends `?_pad=AAAA...` (or `&_pad=AAAA...` when a query string already exists)
//! to the resolved probe URL until the total length reaches 16 384 bytes. Servers
//! with different URI length limits for existing vs nonexistent resources will
//! return different error codes (e.g. 414 vs 404), leaking existence.
