I have an encountered an issue where EyeWitness crashes when it is provided a very long URL. I have a a list of URLs and some of them exceed 1,200 characters. For example:

When executing the following command:

I am presented with the following error:

I'm assuming this is happening due to the file name length restriction for the ext4 file system. I attempted to create the file using the "cat" command and received a similar error:

Expected behavior (vs. what you encountered)

Should just work!

Any additional information

[ChrisTruncer]

For now, this is an unfortunate design decision I made a while back to help ensure that data isn't overwritten. For the time being this will be the way that it stays. Unfortunately, the result of that would be these extremely long google URLs will encounter issues.

Thanks for reporting this.

Thank you for looking into this issue and providing an answer, Chris! Regardless, I appreciate you creating and maintaining this tool.
