Hey, When i started on the net I was told that if sending than 256 characters via a form to use a POST instead of a GET method, now that I am playing with URL rewriting I wanted to know if member served me right, but searching via google I see that IE takes up to 2040-2083 characters in a GET, another article warns that it varies from server to server too.. I'm sure quite a few of you must be fiddling with URLs nearly every day so a little of your feedback would be appreciated. - Do you stick within the 256 character mark? (or my memory is false anyway and that limit never existed) - Till what character (eg: 200) do you push it and still feel safe? - Any idea if apache bitches if the url string is too long? (will be searching via the SEs for this, but if you know the answer it would confirm it for me) - Anything else you wish to add pertaining to the above. Thanks!
