Node.js HTTP Get URL Length limitation

Question

Is there a limit to the size when making HTTP GET requests in Node.js? And if so, how can I change this?

var url = \"...\" // very long, ~50\'000 chars
http.

UPDATE

In newer versions of NodeJS (v12.6.0+), the header request size limit is 8kb by default, and this also impacts the response header size. To use header sizes above 8KB, you can use the switch --max-http-header-size 65535 (or whatever size you need). This is described in-depth here.
