Opera is capable of somewhere in the 4,500 character range, while
Internet Exploder is only capable of 2048+slack (2083 bytes). And
pre-1.0 HTTP days, it was common for many servers not to accept more
than 255 characters on GET.
Yes, those are generally the numbers I found as well.
In my more current test, I had one test that exceeded 5000
characters, but most were in the 2000 character range.
So what it boils down to is, you can send a respectable number of
characters via a GET, but if it's going to be in the 1K range, it's
best to test (it's best to test anyway).
