Description
Exporting very large result sets can break because the download is done via an anchor tag and the URL can exceed maximum size.
Suggested fix: use blobs.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the Download/Export implementation in the CoffeeScript code and reproduce the failure with a very large result set. Replace the anchor-based download with a blob-based approach, then verify that exporting large results no longer depends on an overlong URL.
