IE 6.0 URL limit Size

[Guest]

Hi there:

I´ve developing a web application that passes some info to another page
trough the
URL or querystring, does anybody know which is the limit in bytes for data
to be sent in the url or querystring, i mean like this
'http://localhost/site/pag2.asp?param1=123456465454564654&param2=1112313213'

thanks for any help or hint on this.

There's a particular exploit that takes a shot at my webserver every few
days that has a very long query string. Apache 2.0 throws back a '414
Request-URL Too Large' error after 8190 characters. I don't know if all
servers support this or all browsers, but if you're being reasonable, I
don't think you'll see a problem.

Hi Steve:

In fact I´m seeing this problem when the querystring is about 1K long, the
problem is that the IE shows an error, reports it back to microsoft and then
it closes itself because of the error. I tried removing some data until the
string became shorter than 1k and it worked, but I thought IE had a 2k limit
on the address box but it doesn´t seem like it.
The problem is not in the IIS or server, it´s a IE problem...

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the repply John, that´s the weid part of this, I have a URL with
only 1008 chars in it but the IE crashes when I put that url in it trough a
Javascript window.open sentence, this is the entire script if somebody could
take a look at it:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript' id='pr_AbrirReporteCrystal'>function
MostrarComprobante(){
window.open('../../Reportes/frm_RepCargaReporteCrystal.aspx?NombreReporte=Rep_ReciboElementosComprobante.rpt&Par_Dependencia=CARTAGENA&Par_SalidaAnoNumero=2006-28&Par_DependenciaOrigen=LABORATORIO&Par_FechaSalida=01/06/2006&Par_NotaRemisiva=RN000123&Par_Entregado=ALFONSO
OLIVAREZ DUKES&Par_NovedadFS=&Par_ObservacionesSalida=Prueba para Cartagena,
vamos a ver tambi-*en si aqui me deja escribir m-*as de los famosos 250
caracteres que puede sooportar este campito de observaciones en esta forma.
Aqui la validaci-*on se hace con un maxlength del textbox, al parecer no va a
haber p&Par_ReciboAnoNumero=2006-2&Par_Recibe=Jairo Andres
Portela&Par_EstadoRecibo=Pendiente de
recibo&Par_FechaRecibo=01/06/2006&Par_ObservacionesRecibo=No hubo ningún
inconveniente aqui.Ser-*a que aqui tambi-*en puse que el maxlength no fuera
mayor de 250 caracteres..Esto estaba sacando un error y ahora si parece
funcionar, hmm segun el newsgroup son 2083, vamos a
ver.&@MovimientoId=184&@LoginUsuario=Astrallware_jportela', 'Reportes',
'height=500,width=700,status=no,toolbar=yes,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,modal=yes');}</SCRIPT>

If not, this will remain as an IE mistery....

Thanks.
