The HTTP protocol does not place any a priori limit on the length of a URI. Servers MUST be able to handle the URI of any resource they serve, and SHOULD be able to handle URIs of unbounded length if they provide GET-based forms that could generate such URIs. A server SHOULD return 414 (Request-URI Too Long) status if a URI is longer than the server can handle (see section 10.4.15).
Note: Servers ought to be cautious about depending on URI lengths above 255 bytes, because some older client or proxy implementations might not properly support these lengths.

Is it just me or is that an insane amount of data to send via GET?

This works fine when I'm using Webrick. I'm trying out Mongrel today, and I'm getting an error in Safari that says "lost network connection" (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005).
