title: Is there a limit of the size of response I can read over HTTP
body: <p>I have a java program, that calls a url. The response of url is a json/string. I have to write a program that fetches the data from this url, but I was wondering if there's a limit on the max size HTTP can pass back? </p>
  
  <p>I was going to write my server side (url) in such a way that it fetches all the data from db, but if there's a limit on the size I can fetch from server, I can do the read in batches also?</p>
  
  <p>So, is there a limit on the size of the response I can send over HTTP from server to my java program?</p>
  
  <p>Also, I came across <a href="http://forums.asp.net/t/1037050.aspx?What%20is%20the%20http%20response%20object%20s%20maximun%20content%20length%20" rel="noreferrer">this link.</a> The last response talks about the size being equal to int, and I am not sure what that means. If someone can explain.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
