On the web, there are URLs, not files. If URLs happen to map to filenames in
a particular server, that's coincidental.
There have been reports on browser limitations with URLs longer than 2,000
characters. If they are an issue to you, then you (or your users) surely
have serious issues.

Yes, definitely. What makes you create quite long filenames? They won't make
your site more useable, will they? Did you ever try writing down even a 200
characters long messy URL in order to be able to visit later, after you
found something interesting when using a foreign computer?
