Hi,
There is no size limit in http protocol. Usually server platforms set size
limits for security reasons.
But your resource is bound to post, how can it work when you use GET
instead of POST?
I would suggest you to trace http request/response. I can recommend you
Advanced rest client add-on in Chrome. And you can also enable logging in
Jersey as well (see LoggingFilter).
Br,
Petr
