Hi there ....

I have a apache 1.3.6 system (yes, I know there are newer ones) running
and GET requests are truncated at 255bytes. Is this a RFC limit or by
apache? If by apache, can I change it? If yes, how?

Apache does limit the size of the request line using the directive
http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#limitrequestline

However, your problem is much more likely to be a misbehaved
CGI script that is trying to read into too small of buffer or
some such problem.

AFAIK, the length of an GET request is delimited to 256 bytes (maybe
255 bytes plus string terminator) by some RFC (IIRC the RFC for
HTTP/1.0), for more request data you should use the POST method.
