The real limitations on the size of a URL are in browsers, not JSP or the
server.  Different browsers will swallow URL's of different sizes.  For
something that hefty, I'd suggest POSTing it to avoid annoying edge
conditions with browsers and proxies.  It's just as easy to handle with JSP.

Subject: [JSP-INTEREST] Limit on the length of a variable passed in the
URL


Hello All,

Does anyone know if there is a limit on the length of a variable I can pass
to a JSP page in a URL. I have a feedback system and I am passing about 40
line text as a variable in the URL. Does it work?

Thank you
Kalyan
