does anybody know URL length limitation for Microsoft Edge? As you know, Internet Explorer has limitation for URL length, Maximum length is 2048. How about Edge? I guess, it should be gone for now...

The limit appears to be around 81578 characters. After that, I get a silent failure with no request made to the server.

The URL I was using to test looked like:

http://xx.xx.xxx.xxx:xxxx/?81578-characters-here

I'm not sure whether the length of the host name is factored in.

It's also worth noting that the limitation here was supposedly a problem with Windows itself rather than the browser (sorry, no reference). It appears the issue was addressed in Windows 10, so running this same test on IE11/Windows 10 yields a similar result.
