There is no defined limit, according to the RFC.

If you are using a web browser for GET, then you are generally going to be limited to around 2K for the full URL.

For POST, you are unlikely to hit a limit at any practical level.

Of course, there are server-side limits as well...

I am not sure about the HTTP protocol specification but web browsers and servers do impose limits.
