ASP.NET Response.Redirect Max URL Length

Question

I'm looking at creating a simple URL shortening service for our corporate intranet, and I'm curious if anyone knows if there's a maximum length for URLs returned by ASP.NET's Response.Redirect method?

Answer 1

Maximum URL length for IE is 2083 Characters. Check this out for a complete list.

Answer 2

Probably just as important as ASP.NET's limit is that which the browser(s) set:

The url parameter for Response.Redirect() is of type string - considerably larger :-)

Answer 3

IE is 2083 (for GET is is 2048). Other browsers have slightly different limits. There is no limit defined in the standard. Most folks seem to agree that something in the range of what IE permits is the functional limit.
