Comment (by desrosj):

 > How many plugins are you talking here, exactly?

 I have 340 plugins installed. Confirmed that it's `plugin_api()` in
 WordPress building the query.

 I checked the full query, it's over 19k characters because of the repeated
 `&request[installed_plugins][##]`. After converting the format to
 `&installed_plugins=akismet,wordpress-seo,jetpack,etc...` the full request
 was only `6,331` characters.
