References #1032: Apache server complains "Request-URI Too Large"

Main functionality is in place. The "New experiment" function is fixed and probably all other places where a new window is opened with the Main.openPopup script. Other functions that use 'location.href', 'location.replace' or 'window.open' are not fixed.
