		capitainenemo on Feb 17, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Replacing Mapbox with open source solutions Rather curious about the URL query parameter length constraint. Excluding IE11/Edge, don't most major browsers have at least 64k query lengths these days? Could you just serve the low quality jaggy poly to few percent still on IE11/Edge and a high detail one to the rest?

A lot of servers impose a constraint on URL length, so I suspect Mapbox does on their APIs.
