If you're considering passing arguments through an URL, please remember

that different browsers have different limits on the size of HTTP_GET

requests... you're generally safe with URLs that are less than 128

characters or so in length, and many browsers support up to about 256

characters.


(Rephrased, you could see problems in some-but-not-all browsers with very

long URLs.)
