" Bad Request " Message

Options
Can anyone tell me why I keep getting this message when I try to get into a webpage? It has only just started happening.
I'm using a Toshiba Satellite C850D on windows 8-1.

The message goes on to say: " Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Size of a request header exceeds server limit."

I havent a clue what this means but I'm missing out on some time limited deals ?

    If it happens on one website only chances are high that it is a problem on their end. And without knowing the name of the web nobody can help you really. Or maybe this helps you

    I used to get this on Firefox - by coincidence with the MSE forums - and as in the link, clearing cookies for just that website with the problem always resolved it for me.
