URLs over 2048 characters (make a config value!) may not be processed correctly by browsers or servers.

Heh, reading online info more carefully, browsers other than IE / Edge have very long limits (at least 8k). IE/Edge limits to 2047. Thanks for that, Microsoft.

It's also not evident from what I read that servers presently have significant limits on URL length. Some years ago I read that they do, again roughly 2k. Apparently not any more.
