What is the maximum allowed size of a URL for a GET request in IE8? I have a url that is ~7700 characters that works on all browsers except IE.
A:
If your url is 7700 characters long you're doing it wrong. Use a post instead.

GET requests have different semantic meaning than POST. If you're building a RESTful service that supports complex queries, long GET URLs may be difficult to avoid.

In this case I am maintaining existing code.

What kind of data are you submitting and what might be the reason (of the original programmer) for using GET instead of POST?
