Does the IE url length limit apply to content after the "#"?

Question

I have seen many places that IE limits urls to 2000 or so characters in length. I can't figure out, though, does this apply to the portion after the # as well? That part isn't sent to the server so it seems like it might be different.

Answer 1

It's actually 2083 characters for a URL (which means all of the URL) and 2048 characters for a path. See this KB article for details.
