Its definitely a POST and not a GET? With "get" there is a limit to the
length of the url which would translate into hard limits for the amount of
data you can push across (2kb or more depending on the browser).

I've not heard of any limits regarding POST .... just checking ... take a
look at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q208427/ this indicates a 2048
character limit for both post and get.

Hope this helps.
