I would be willing to say that 3/4 of all internet users are on IE still so tweaking server settings and testing with browsers other than IE is useless. Unless of course you know exactly your audience's setup (for example in a corporate setting where you know your client's setup) in which case this could possibly be worthwile. But then again if someone is passing long strings like that they should rethink their implementation anyway... so back to square one.
