That depends on the browser, rather than App Engine.

The 30 second request limit only starts after App Engine receives the request. At any rate, with a maximum URL length on the order of a few kilobytes, even the slowest user is not likely to take more than a second or two to transmit the URL! -Nick Johnson > > On Jun 17, 12:41 pm, "Nick Johnson (Google)" <nick.john...@google.com> > wrote: > > Hi Astrid, > > > > On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 6:20 AM, astrid.thuec...@googlemail.com < > > > > astrid.thuec...@googlemail.com> wrote: > > > > > In general - how much data can I send in an request to the appengine > > > and be sure it won't time out?
