and I got the result with “400 (Bad Request)”, is something wrong with my request? or shall I divide my request into several request?

ids was containing list of id with semicolon separator.

Answer 1

If your query string exceeds maxQueryStringLength ASP.NET will return a 400 (Bad Request) status.

This setting defaults to 2048, you can increase it, however, browsers also restrict the query string / url length, for example IE9 allows a maximum of 2083 characters.

If you can change the code, instead of using $.getJSON with a long query string I would send the data via a POST request using $.post with the dataType: json:

$.post(yourUrl, yourData, function (data) {
     // data has the same value as if you used $.getJSON
}, 'json');
