URL size Limit

In an earlier post, I mentioned that one of the issues of why the ed_connotea javascript would not call the SPARQLTaggingServlet was due to the size of the parameters. The xml being attached as a parameter was too long (as it turns out, it was because the xml was being duplicated and appended to itself - effectively increasing the size)


Here's some specs I found for different browsers and parameter size limit:
Site's a little old. but the main point is that there IS a size limit and that it might be better to find a different way of submitting the xml other than as a parameter, unless we're guaranteed the xml will always be under the size limit of all the browsers we intend to support and the server of which we're using.

The site where I found the specs

Internet Explorer: 2,083
Firefox at least: 100,000
Safari at least: 80,000
Apache WebServer 4,000

Will need to do some testing myself to see what the ACTUAL limits are.
