There is also a clarification draft for HTTP available:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-05.txt
HTTP does not place an 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 9.4.15 of [Part2]).
