Hi, It's not a good idea. Try changing GET to POST. In case you don't know - request uris are often cached, logged, etc, so sending any data, especially passwords in them is a suicide or worse.
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.2.1 "The HTTP protocol does not place any a priori limit on the length of a URI. Servers MUST be able to handle the URI of any resource they serve, and SHOULD be able to handle URIs of unbounded length if they provide GET-based forms that could generate such URIs. A server SHOULD return 414 (Request-URI Too Long) status if a URI is longer than the server can handle (see section 10.4.15). Note: Servers ought to be cautious about depending on URI lengths above 255 bytes, because some older client or proxy implementations might not properly support these lengths."
