Description
I'm honestly not sure where this code is, whether it's in WordPress core or in a common plugin, but it's something I've seen on many blogs, and it's badly broken. I've looked through a few common related posts plugins without finding the culprit.
Related posts are often shown at the bottom of a blog post. These link to a related post, with a long query string looking something like this: ?relatedposts_hit=1&relatedposts_origin=52827&relatedposts_position=2. But sometimes it's much, much longer. (And sometimes, it's completely absent. Odd.) Many thousands of characters. This will, of course, cause a 414 error. I've seen this many times on many different websites. I'd like to fix it, but I cannot find the code.
Example blogs on which I've seen this error more than once: https://captainawkward.com/ and https://www.lunarmobiscuit.com/ and many others (intermittently).

Thanks. I'll have a quick look at the Jetpack code and try to fix it myself with a pull request. Failing that, I'll report it. I suppose this ticket here can be closed, if it's not a WordPress Core issue.
