title: Maximum length of HTTP GET request
body: <p>What's the maximum length of an HTTP <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol#Request_methods" rel="noreferrer">GET</a> request?</p>
  
  <p>Is there a response error defined that the server can/should return if it receives a GET request that exceeds this length?</p>
  
  <p>This is in the context of a web service API, although it's interesting to see the browser limits as well.</p>
