The default HTTP header size limit on most webservers and containers (including the Jetty that ships with Solr) is 8192 bytes. A typical request like this will start with "GET " and end with " HTTP/1.1", which count against that 8192 bytes. The max header size can be increased. If you place the parameters into a POST request instead of on the URL, then the default size limit of that POST request in Solr is 2MB. This can also be increased. Thanks, Shawn
