1024k would probably be ok :-), but you can't really assume
even 1024 bytes for GETs, since some legacy browsers might have
problems with anything over 255 bytes. On the other hand, POST
requests can be more or less arbitrarily large, and almost
certainly will be ok for your application.
You can search the archives of this list (if search is working)
with keywords along the lines of "get post limit", or go right
to the horse's mouth and check out rfc2616 and friends at:
<http://www.rfc-editor.org/>
Reading the http rfc may seem daunting, but apart from a
couple of dicussions on advanced http features, it's really
a very easy read...
