Well, this has been around for years, Microsoft even has a technote on it...
It could be seen 2 ways... Why on earth would you want to pass that much data in a POST.. Maybe IE is being logical in trying to restrict you :-). I believe you can get around the problem by using a GET. ColdFusion shouldn't have a limit I would say, why should it? It's not a browser.

Something I'm now bumping into... http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/misc/urllength.html Of all the browsers out there, almost all of them can handle 80,000, 100,000, even 190,000. Yes, Opera can handle one hundred and ninety THOUSAND characters on the URL line and still drink a martini. But of course, robust, market leader Internet Explorer wimps out at 2083 and won't even pass the processing to the next *&^(#^# page. Won't even clip or crop. It reports an error, and stops right there. Even IIS, a Microsoft product, can handle over 16,000 characters as a URL. But their browser? Ehhh.... Nah. I have an applet that returns a list of files to the URL and executes. I don't think I can redirect this to a form. I'll contact the vendor about it, but it's looking like I have an issue. What's CF's limit, BTW. Anyone know?
