Holy cow! Consider me impressed! How long was the browser loading the page before you decided to view the source? I'm also amazed that apache didn't choke on the repeated hidden GET params before it got to that size.

I thought I remembered reading about a limit of ~2k characters in a GET string? Looking through the HTTP/1.1 RFC I didn't see any mention, and I can't find it in the Apache docs either. Am I just remembering things?

    I let it finish loading, which took around 5 minutes I believe.

    I think it's a compile-time parameter for Apache. But this form isn't a GET, it's a POST.
