RFC: No limit, except note that older proxies or user agents may impose
a limit.

Squid: Limited to 4096. Should be safe to increase. Objects with very
long URL's wont be cached properly thou due to a buffering problem on
cache hits.. (the object will get cached, but subsequent hits will fail
to verify the URL of the cached file and go direct instead).
