Here s a working example in SVG that s close to correct:
http://phrogz.net/svg/constant-length-bezier.xhtml
I experimentally determined that when the endpoints are on top of one another the handles should be
desiredLength × cos(30°)
away from the handles; and (of course) when the end points are at their greatest distance the handles should be on top of one another. Plotting all ideal points looks sort of like an ellipse:
The blue line is the actual ideal equation, while the red line above is an ellipse approximating the ideal. Using the equation for the ellipse (as my example above does) allows the line to get about 9% too long in the middle.
