Maximum code length? #6

Need to do some tests to see how much code can be reasonably zipped into the URL.

At a certain level maybe seamlessly save to an anon Gist and give a #gist/id URL.

According to StackOverflow URL size is limited to 2,083 chars, at least for Internet Explorer. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/417142/what-is-the-maximum-length-of-a-url

I also found this, which is very pretty much outdated: http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/misc/urllength.html

Would be interesting to know the current state of affairs...

I couldn't find a maximum for t.co, which would be a good cutoff.

Oh, zip = repeated text is packed, short url still

US Constitution = 44849 text to 18568 characters URL: Firefox doesn't blink, Twitter post hangs.
