Its not an HTTP limitation. The HTTP spec does not limit URL
length and hence the length or number of query parameters sent
using GET method.
IE5 currently limits the length to 2k. Checkout
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q208/4/27.ASP
for further details.
Netscape either does not limit or has a higher limit. I was able
to send more then 10K successfully.
The limitation could also come from the servers implementation,
but if they follow HTTP spec they should not have any such limits.
Cheers,
Sanjay
