Guy,

Thanks for the help.  Shortly after I wrote this I found that if you go to the packet itself and right-click on "copy all printable text" it will copy the whole request correctly to the clipboard.  I got the non-truncated information I needed that way.  :)

Yes.  There is a limit of 240 characters for each line in the packet detail pane.

You would have to change ITEM_LABEL_LENGTH in epan/proto.h in the Wireshark source code and recompile Wireshark.
