According to Microsoft, the limit is 2,083 characters for a URL and
2,048 characters ("2K") for a path inside a URL:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q208427
This implies that using the GET method, there is an upper limit for the
amount data. The exact limit depends on the form, since the URL in the
action attribute and names of fields as well as punctuation required by
the syntax affect the length of the URL that the browser constructs upon
submission.
