GOAL:
What are the IE browser limitations for URL length
FACT(s) (Environment):
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01SP1
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01SP2
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5
FIX:
If you use GET in a form, the URL will send all of the form fields. If you use POST, the fields are sent in the HTTP header. However, keep in mind that limits apply more to the number of characters rather than the number of name/value pairs.
The limitation is roughly 2048 characters
