I read this from this url from W3Consortium:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.2.1
The HTTP protocol does not place any a priori limit on the length of a URI.
Servers MUST be able to handle the URI of any resource they serve, and
SHOULD be able to handle URIs of unbounded length if they provide GET-based
forms that could generate such URIs. A server SHOULD return 414 (Request-URI
Too Long) status if a URI is longer than the server can handle (see section
10.4.15).
Note: Servers ought to be cautious about depending on URI lengths
above 255 bytes, because some older client or proxy
implementations might not properly support these lengths.
It depends by your approch.... conservative for all clients, aggressive for
newest.
