3Redefine the http standard, create your own nuHTTP server, build your own browser and start playing with your friends.. – Peter Lindqvist Mar 25 '11 at 09:08

On the client-side with `opera:config` and "Maximum length of url" (mine is 2GB). And for the server-side, make a PHP daemon script, listen to a separate port, receive and parse HTTP GET requests yourself. For other servers: out of luck. – mario Mar 25 '11 at 09:35

If the limit is to small then stop sending the data with the HTTP request and send a reference to the data, like a URI. Then make your script, or whatever, download the contents of the URI and process that data. Obvious security checks assumed. – Nick Mar 25 '11 at 10:07

You have no control over the limitations of the GET request.
There are limitations in various browsers (some as low as 255 characters) and also limitations imposed by a server, but normally more than 255 characters.
So you will need to think of another way of indexing your content that doesn't require such massive URLs. 255 characters is quite a lot for a normal GET request - so you are probably trying to do something other than just serve a page.
Please give more information about why you need longer URLs and we may be able to offer a better alternative.
