Yes. :-)
The limit *USED* to be 255 characters.
I think it's up to 1024 now, for GET.
Any server *MAY* choose to impose *ANY* limit on GET, so long as they don't
impose a limit *LOWER* than that limit.
So, maybe your server has a limit of this size, and maybe it doesn't. Maybe
it has a limit of 2K. Maybe it has no limit. Maybe they didn't pay
attention to the rules and it has the old limit of 255.
I would never count on a GET over 255 characters really working.
