What web/app server and version are you using. Some web/app servers
have issues with %2F in the URI path, see:

There is nothing wrong with that approach in general (but see below
for why it is wrong for one of your cases).

You may be running into hard coded limits on the length of an ASCII
encoded URI string.
Content such as an atom feed is not really suitable for embedding in
the URI. Instead you should use a POST request to the second URI where
the content of the POST, the entity body, is the string you received
from the first request.
