What is the limit on QueryString / GET / URL parameters?
RFC 2068 states: Servers should be cautious about depending on URI lengths above 255 bytes, because some older client or proxy implementations may not properly support these lengths.The spec for URL length does not dictate a minimum or maximum URL length, but implementation varies by browser. On Windows: Opera supports ~4050 characters, IE 4.0+ supports exactly 2083 characters, Netscape 3 -> 4.78 support up to 8192 characters before causing errors on shut-down, and Netscape 6 supports ~2000 before causing errors on start-up. Note that there is no limit on the number of parameters you can stuff into a URL, but only on the length it can aggregate to. Keep in mind that the number of characters will be significantly reduced if you have special characters (e.g. spaces) that need to be URLEncoded (e.g. converted to the sequence ‘%20’). For every space, you reduce the size allowed in the remainder of the URL by 2 characters – and this holds true for many other special characters that you may
