Do you know the rfc number for 'HTTP spec limits it to 2kb' ?.

I said IIRC, and it's a memory from a long time ago - pre-rfc2616.
It may no longer be valid, but it was standard advice in the early
days: don't make GET requests bigger than 2k.

Of course, no standard limits the size.  It just says (said)
that an implementation should not impose a lower limit.

The rest of what I said stands: if someone presents me with
a system where an 8k limit is a problem, my reaction is to
question the design decisions that led to it.
