    This depends on the browser you are using.

    From RFC 2616 (rfc2616) – Hypertext Transfer Protocol — HTTP/1.1

    The HTTP protocol does not place any a
    priori limit on the length of a
    URI. Servers MUST be able to handle
    the URI of any resource they serve,
    and SHOULD be able to handle URIs of
    unbounded length if they provide
    GET-based forms that could generate
    such URIs. A server SHOULD return
    414 (Request-URI Too Long) status if a
    URI is longer than the server can
    handle (see section 10.4.15).

      Note: Servers ought to be cautious about depending on URI
    

    lengths
    above 255 bytes, because some older client or proxy
    implementations might not properly support these lengths.

    Maximum URL length is 2,083 characters in Internet Explorer

    Microsoft Internet Explorer has a
    maximum uniform resource locator (URL)
    length of 2,083 characters. Internet
    Explorer also has a maximum path
    length of 2,048 characters. This limit
    applies to both POST request and GET
    request URLs.

    If you are using the GET method, you
    are limited to a maximum of 2,048
    characters, minus the number of
    characters in the actual path.

    However, the POST method is not
    limited by the size of the URL for
    submitting name/value pairs. These
    pairs are transferred in the header
    and not in the URL.

    From http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/misc/urllength.html

    Firefox (Browser)
    After 65,536 characters, the location bar no longer displays the URL in Windows Firefox
    1.5.x. However, longer URLs will work. I stopped testing after 100,000 characters.

    Safari (Browser)
    At least 80,000 characters will work. I stopped testing after 80,000 characters.

    Opera (Browser)
    At least 190,000 characters will work. I stopped testing after 190,000 characters. Opera > 9 for Windows continued to display a fully editable, copyable and pasteable URL in the
    location bar even at 190,000 characters.
    Apache (Server)
    My early attempts to measure the maximum URL length in web browsers bumped into a server > URL length limit of approximately 4,000 characters, after which Apache produces a “413
    Entity Too Large” error. I used the current up to date Apache build found in Red Hat
    Enterprise Linux 4. The official Apache documentation only mentions an 8,192-byte limit
    on an individual field in a request.

    Microsoft Internet Information Server
    The default limit is 16,384 characters (yes, Microsoft’s web server accepts longer URLs
    than Microsoft’s web browser). This is configurable.

    Perl HTTP::Daemon (Server)
    Up to 8,000 bytes will work. Those constructing web application servers with Perl’s
    HTTP::Daemon module will encounter a 16,384 byte limit on the combined size of all HTTP
    request headers. This does not include POST-method form data, file uploads, etc., but it > does include the URL. In practice this resulted in a 413 error when a URL was
    significantly longer than 8,000 characters. This limitation can be easily removed. Look
    for all occurrences of 16×1024 in Daemon.pm and replace them with a larger value. Of
    course, this does increase your exposure to denial of service attacks.
