Talk:Query string

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It would be nice to have an expert's assessment of query strings as an alternative to session-based cookies. Cookie opponents often recommend query strings as a viable, if not superior, alternative, but rarely mention their disadvantages. Perhaps this assessment could provide a basis for a "Criticisms" paragraph in the Wikipedia entry for query strings. Thank you.

[edit] Query String: size limit?

It would seem that there might be a size limit on the query string. If there is, what is it? If there is or is not a limit it should be stated in this article. I, however, do not have this knowledge. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.25.155.9 (talk • contribs) 04:16, 19 June 2005 (UTC)

I think there is a limit on the total lenght of the URL, not on the query string itself. Tizio, Caio, Sempronio 16:19, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
