I’m trying to create an excessively large URL , one which is at least 60,000 characters. On an Apache web server I have access to, the maximum URL length I can produce is ~4000 characters or so. Any ideas on tools I can use to achieve this?
Don’t do that. As you say, it’s excessively large. If you feel you have the need for that type of url, you are not using the web architecture correctly. Most web servers won’t allow you to parse those urls, and most web browsers won’t handle them. If you write your own web server software, and your own web client, well… still no!
Tell us a bit more about the reasons why you need that type of url, and we can tell you what you should do instead.
Are you putting way to many search parameters in one GET request? Are you trying to upload a PDF through a query string? Are you base64-encoding a JPEG and uploading it?
You should probably look into POST requests, possibly web services, maybe Ajax… It all depends on what you are trying to do.
