Phil Dawes' Stuff: Server length limitations on HTTP GET URLs

  • Neil · 3 years ago
    You need to consider more than just the server limit though - what about all the proxies, gateways etc that the request might pass through? Any of those could either crash or truncate a long GET request.

    It's probably be safest to keep within the IE limit of 2048 bytes, since most things will be coded with that in mind.
