Here is my scenario, in the front end user can see the student result by sending their student id to back-end. I am using get method to pass those student id's to back-end. i am getting result of students and it works well.

But Now i am finding an error as:

"The resource you looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is Temporarily unavailable" in the browser.

I find this, whenever the user selects more that 200+ student ids and angular trying to send them using get method. I find that, there is a limitation like 2000 characters to use in get method.

But in this case how to HttpClient handles this? is there any workaround we have with angular? or what is the general practice?

In case of enterprise application how they send large values to backed using get method?

I am not able to find any solution myself with this. any one help me please?

Does this answer your question? [Maximum length of HTTP GET request](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2659952/maximum-length-of-http-get-request) – mbojko Jul 23 '20 at 14:24
@mbojko - I understood that, I am looking for work-around or angular facilities which can help here – 3gwebtrain Jul 23 '20 at 14:31
A simple one would be to send two or more requests with shorter URI. Or change the API and send the ids in the request body. – mbojko Jul 23 '20 at 14:33
@mbojko - how to send the values in request body in case of `get` method? – 3gwebtrain Jul 23 '20 at 14:36
You can't. You need to change the method of the request. The method "POST" is what you need. – Damien Roelens Jul 23 '20 at 15:14
@DamienRoelens - I approached that, client is not agree. – 3gwebtrain Jul 23 '20 at 15:17
In that case I agree with the suggestion of @mbojko... – Damien Roelens Jul 23 '20 at 15:49
