Data protocol URL size limitations

Question

Is there any size limitation for \"data:\" URL scheme values? I\'m interested in limitations in popular web browsers. In other words, how long can data:image/jpg;base6

Answer 1

Regarding limitations in web browsers, MSIE 6/7 do not support the data url scheme... More info on wikipedia

The length limits are different per browser - i believe IE8 allows up to 32KB and opera is 4KB, but can't really tell about other browsers...
