How can I override urlfetch _MAX_URL_LENGTH?

[pdknsk]

I've got a REST request which exceeds 2048 characters. The server can
handle it no problem, but urlfetch cannot! Is there a way to override
it? Thanks! Why did Google set a limit, I'm wondering.

I doubt it.

The underlying service will no doubt truncate it.

I am amazed it needs a URL that long.

I'll have to switch to SOAP then :(

I would seem to me that a REST service that requires >2048 chars in the URL is probably poorly written.

Try using post instead of get. Sometimes API's support this and don't say
so.

Thanks Brandon, worth mentioning.

You know I thought of saying that heaps of times, but assumed that was obvious ;-)

A GET only rest api wouldn't be very well designed

It's not documented, but it works! :)
