In my application, I use GET method to get a Excel file back. The url actually contains the parameters that server needs to generate the Excel file. However, sometimes, the parameters may become so long (more then 2000 characters).

I am considering using POST method, but it does not seem that POST method can return a document. Am I right?

    Nop, how you request, say GET, PUT and POST, doesn’t necessarily affect the server you response.

    How to make the response depends on the program on server. If you want to send a binary file after a POST request is totally cool.

    Just take a look at sites like megaupload, rapidshare, etc. All of them will send you a file after you POST the recaptcha code.
