It is a browser-based and not a server-based limit.

The same queries to the same server that do not work in MSIE *will* often
work in gecko-based (and other) browsers (Moz, et.al)

On a side note, this is one of the few times when, IMO, a MSIE difference
in implementation is, once agin, IMO, No Big Deal(TM). As opposed to all
the MSIE bugs in, for example, CSS rendering, this GET vs POST limitation
is not a bug but merely a particular interpretation of the W3C
recommendations. One that other browsers have interpreted more liberally.

Whatever. later...
