2048 bytes exactly? :-)
Please cite a reference to this figure. I have heard figures as low as 256.
It is after all up to the UA whereas post is not.
"a couple of hundred bytes" means exactly what it says. Enough for a few
short gets and if it breaks then it's time to use post. And even 2048 is not
nearly enouth for a "text file" which the OP specified, especially when
later in the thread the OP admits to 2MB.
