The HTTP spec doesn't specify any limits.  And trust me, not all versions of
Netscape had that limit.  Version 4.51 and up doesn't (4.7x certainly
doesn't)  You can test this so easily, I'm not even going to write code for
it.  I'll say that you can do it in roughly 2 lines of code.

I can't verify this but it was my understanding that the later
versions of IE could accept some really large length of
querystring - up around 4000 or 8000 characters.

All versions of Netscape were around 255.

You could write a page that dynamic creates a page link
with 100 parameters or so, redirects and the target page
lists the parameters.... ;)

Sorry - I can't be more specific or provide references.

: I'm pretty sure it's been over 255 characters for a while, and
: that it's also a browser-dependant number.
