I also ran into this a while ago. #932 (comment)

Changing the column type to Text in the extensions/requester/models/http.rb model resolved the issue (at least for plain text).

I'm not sure how well that will work with binary data, but it probably can't make things any worse, as there's other bugs lurking in the requester/proxy code when dealing with binary data, such as #1460.

BeEF now uses ActiveRecord instead of DataMapper, which may (or may not) have resolved this issue.

More importantly, BeEF no longer supports PostgreSQL. We may or may not have to review this issue again in the future if PostgreSQL support is re-added.

Closing.
