disable 250 character URL limit in Internet Explorer
- by Keltari
Users of a SharePoint Document Library are getting this error:
The URL for this file is too long for the application. A temporary copy of this file will be opened on your computer. You must save this copy as a new file.
After doing some research, it appears Internet Explorer has a limit of about ~250 characters for a URL. Some URLs provided by SharePoint far exceed this limit. One example being 790 characters long.
Is there a way to disable this limit? I have looked, but there doesnt appear to be a solution, other than shortening the folder/path names.
