- petercooper 16y agoThis research is a few years old but, hopefully, things should be even better by now: http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/misc/urllength.html http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/misc/urllength.html .. Safari, Opera, and Firefox all go over 80k. I found another source for Chrome that says they "could not find any limits on Chrome and Safari". Nonetheless, it's tricky because you have no idea if proxies in the middle will be able to cope, mobile clients, and all sorts of things.. so you're right in the sense that it's pointless (if you want it to be universally acceptable ;-)).
- xorglorb 16y agoIn my own (very imprecise) testing, Chrome seemed to freeze around 215k characters. I found that my web server started throwing 413s after only about ~30k characters.
