By clicking the buttons below, you can increase (or reset) the length of your query parameters. The purpose of this application is to provide a simple test bed for making requests with arbitrarily big query parameter payloads. RFC2616 (3.2.1) does not place a limit on URI lengths, but many (all?) web browsers and servers do. Depending on the browser you are using (and the servers in between your browser and this HTML file), you will hit a different limit. There are resources (example) on this topic, though who doesn't love a good experiment?
To use: Keep clicking the "Bigger" button until something breaks. Depending on the failure, your browser may fail, or the server may give an error code. Use your browser history to go back to the last working number.
Alternatively: Open the Web Inspector console, and run the
try_new_length(n)function.
The current target is null.
The current actual body length is null.
The total query parameter length is null.
The total URL length is null.
