Chrome returns "Bad Request - Request Too Long" when navigating to local IIS Express

I have a web application that runs perfectly fine when I use the Visual Studio 2010 development server (Cassini). However when I try to use IIS Express to host the site Chrome just displays a "Bad Request - Request Too Long" error. The IIS Express site does display in other browsers (FireFox and IE9) so I'm kind of confused. The error occurs in Chrome when I try request pages in my application or even basic resources like an image, so I don't think it is an issue with URL rewriting or routing.

Just to see if the problem was somehow a result of my site's code, I created a new MVC3 website and tried running that. This worked in the VS development server, but once again produced the "Bad Request" error when running under IIS Express.

I am about to start testing the site using some mobile devices so I need to get this running under IIS. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT:
The root url of the site (http://localhost:50650/) is being requested using GET. I am currently using Chrome v12.0.742.112.

I get this all the time ONLY in Chrome and I have to clear browsing data to fix it.

Wrench > Tools > Clear Browsing Data

Check the following:

  • Clear browsing history
  • Clear download history
  • Empty the cache
  • Delete cookies and other site data

Then click "Clear Browsing Data" button and refresh your page.

UPDATE:
I figured out that it has to do with writing too many cookies to the browser and that if you just close all instances of Chrome, the error goes away for a while. To prevent it, you'll need to clear out your cookies programmatically.

I encountered this problem when using ADB2C login from ASP.NET WebApp. In Firefox you can do similar use case to delete related coockies and problem is gone for a while. Click on HTTPS (i) lock icon with, select ">" button on the right, select More information, select Security tab, click on View Cookies and click on Remove All. Done 4 a while.

If Above methods didn't work then enter

chrome://settings/resetProfileSettings

and Click on Reset Settings

This will reset your startup page, new tab page, search engine, and pinned tabs. It will also disable all extensions and clear temporary data like cookies. Your bookmarks, history and saved passwords will not be cleared.
