IE cutting URL to less than 2048 is a known limitation of IE. I'm not sure how 
to relax the constraints. But I guess there will be ways.

Subject: [OpenLayers-Users] Problem with maximum URL length

 Hi all,

 I have a project with many WMS layers which have rather long layer  names. Now 
I seem to be hitting a maximum URL length restriction of IE  in the 
GetFeatureInfo request. See also
 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/208427

 Do you have any ideas for a workaround? Would a post request work with  
OpenLayers.Control.WMSGetFeatureInfo ?

 My project has >50 layers with rather long names and while debugging I  saw 
that the URL was around 3000 characters long. IE just cut the URL  off at 2047 
characters and my WMS server resulted in a 500 error code.

 Any ideas?

 Thank you very much,
 Andreas
