I don't think so: I recall (4+ years ago) having my browser send 10+ KiB of
data to the server, and the server parsing only the first 8 KiB.
I agree on the "256 bytes max if you want to be sure" rule of thumb, though.
Also, keep in mind the recommendations from the guys who invented the web
thing:
- Use the GET method when querying information
- Use the POST method when sending information to the server
e.g. use GET for search forms, but use POST for configuration forms. And
never ever use GET for "delete" links, or you'll discover that your entire
content has been delete by a web crawler.

Good news. Ten weeks from Friday will be a pretty good day.
