Microsoft states that the maximum length of a URL in Internet Explorer is 2,083 characters, with no more than 2,048 characters in the path portion of the URL
If you are using the GET method, you are limited to a maximum of 2,048 characters, minus the number of characters in the actual path.
However, the POST method is not limited by the size of the URL for submitting name/value pairs.
