There's usually no limit from the client side, the limit is set on the server side. For example Apache Tomcat uses maxPostSize, which is defaulted to 2M.

It's set in your server.xml file. See here for the HTTP connector, http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html – Jerry B Jan 24 '13 at 14:48
