Hello Faiz,

I think you are talking more generally of the size limitation applied to 
URIs in the agent programs (client and server). You can have a look here 
for example http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/misc/urllength.html. Regarding 
a Restlet-based server, there is a limitation due to the use of regular 
expressions during the routing process. This is related to this bug 
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6337993.

I'm not aware of a size limitation applied to the size of a request's or 
response's entity.

Best regards,
Thierry Boileau
