That sounds crazy alright. :) There are mixed opinions when it comes to maximum URL lengths. It's not just the length of the field, which may be 256 chars, you also need to consider any parameters that get set. Are you talking about absolute or relative URLs? If relative, then you need to take into account the length of the base URI.
All SharePoint and db field limitations aside, there are also browser limitations on URL length. This is different depending on which browser and version might be used to access the site. The specs below on SharePoint limitations has come direct from a MS source. Entity Max size Site Name 128 characters Site URL 255 characters Display name 128 characters Connection string 384 characters Email address 128 characters Version numbers 064 characters Virtual Server Friendly Name 064 characters SQL Database Name 123 characters SQL Database Column 128 characters SQL Database Table Name 128 characters SQL Role Name 128 characters Server Name 128 characters Windows User Name 300 characters Windows Password 300 characters Dependencies per object 032 objects Zone enumeration value 004 zones Default SQL command timeout 300 seconds Number of simultaneous workflows 015 If during your course of using the product, you inadvertently cross these limits, then you would end up with errors. These are hard limits.

As strange as it sounds, I have a 610 character URL, which is happy to go into a Summary Link webpart as a link, but will trim itself down when you try to use the "insert hyperlink" option within a content area - is a Summary Link webpart or third party apps like Telerik the only way I can insert such links into the content area, or is there an option somewhere that I can turn on?
