title: Ajax string length limit?
body: <p>Is there a limit to the length of the parameter that be can added to the url for ajax? I am using Thin server on Ruby, and did an ajax request from the web browser in this format:</p>
  
  <pre><code>io=new XMLHttpRequest();
  io.open("GET","http://localhost:3000&amp;v="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(v)),true);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When the length of the string <code>v</code> exceeds about 7000 bytes, it seems to crash. When less, it seems to work. Is my observation right? Where is the restriction coming from? From Thin, Javascript, or the browser? I use Google Chrome browser.</p>
