GAE JSONP parameter size limits

Question

I'm writing a server side handler for JSONP request. It's a Java version of GAE.

My local dev server doesn't like the length of the query string. I have to use JSONP as this will be a cross domain request.

Is there a limit on GAE for how long the query string can be? Is that a browser thing?

Do I have to split the request into many and maintain the state on the GAE Handler side?

I just tried the same request in the different browser and it seems it's a browser thing. Chrome was unable to handle request with query string more than 4000 characters. Firefox was ok with it.

If it's a really long request, you probably want to submit paramters via a POST request, rather than in the URL.
