What is the maximum length of a URL in different browsers? Does it differ among browsers?

Is a maximum URL length part of the HTTP specification?

However, the maximum length of a URL can vary depending on the web browser and the web server software being used. In general, modern browsers and web servers can handle relatively long URLs, but there might be practical limits imposed by certain software and configurations.

Here are some approximate maximum URL lengths for popular web browsers as of my last update:

1. Chrome: Around 2 MB (2,083,860 characters).

4. Edge: Similar to Chrome, around 2 MB (2,083,860 characters).

It's important to note that while these are approximate numbers, it's generally not recommended to push URLs to their maximum limits, as very long URLs can create issues with server and proxy configurations, might be blocked by firewalls, and could cause usability problems.

Keep in mind that web technologies are continuously evolving, and browser versions might change their limitations in the future. For the most up-to-date information, it's always best to refer to the documentation and release notes of the specific browsers you are interested in.

What are the distinguishable differences between them?

What is the difference between a URI, a URL and a URN?

I am building an application with Hibernate and Thymeleaf. I have an object for Image urls so the user can put in the url and it gets pulled from the database and put into the template as th:src

The problem I am ending up with is instead of it pulling the url from the database it is trying to use it as a local directory or something. The links in my db include http:// or https:// which I've seen referenced as a problem in other questions asked.

http://localhost:8080/com.liftoff.thymeleafrecipeproject.demo.models.Image@24

This is what I am getting as the Image url, what am I doing wrong here?

How to block opening a video blob url in a new tab?

I am getting 404 whenever I input the url manually.

For those looking to just make their projects compatible with old URLs, you can force update any hash missing the leading "/". This is not the most elegant solution, but it solved it for me.

        window.location.href = window.location.origin + window.location.pathname + window.location.search + "#/" + _hash.slice(1);

window.addEventListener('hashchange', forceSlashAfterHash);

When the page loads or the hash changes, it checks for a leading "/" in the hash, and if not present, adds one.
