Increasing QueryString max length

Question

I have a queryString which is around 2500 characters long, over the default 2048 limit.

Now I've changed the settings in web.config as suggested:

<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" maxQueryStringLength="204800" maxUrlLength="409600"/>

Still comes back with error that the string is too long.

I've also changed those settings in IIS6 -> Request Filetering -> Query Strings -> Edit Feature Settings to the same values and still no joy.

The browser is IE11.

Can the maxQueryStringLength actually be changed?

Unfortunately I cannot limit the amount of text in the query string so that is not an option.

I don't think that can be changed. It's browser limitation not asp.net problem. — शेखर, Jun 18 '14 at 11:35

It is not possible to change the query string length of the browser.

Hmm after playing around with the settings I noticed that now it will actually execute the page with the querystring but it does get clipped in the address bar. – sd_dracula Jun 18 '14 at 11:48
