Recently I was wondering how long an url can be at max. So I searched the Internet, and this is what i found:
| Internet Explorer | FireFox | Safari | Opera | Apache |
| 2048 | 65536 visibleAt least 100.000 | At least 80.000 | At least 190.000 | Approx 4000 |
I found this on the Internet, and i thought I’d sum it up for you. Might be useful. The article i found this on is from 2006, but is still something you can rely on. Most results are “at least” or “approx” because the person who wrote the article stopped testing.
But, still don’t know why browsers support more than 100.000. Because the servers never support that much. On the link below are some explanations and other results.
