.Q.hg limit?

What is the max url length accepted by .Q.hg (HTTP GET)?

I looked in .q.k, it doesn’t appear that .Q.hmb or Q.hg checks for a limit.

Please update the documentation @ http://code.kx.com/q/ref/dotq/#qhg-http-get with the max length.

kdb+ treats this as a path, and currently is limited to 254. This will be increased in the next version of kdb+ (3.6).

In the meantime, can you use post requests?

thanks

Unfortunately not.
