I can imagine what difficulties you had! But what for? Why do you need to transmit such great data amounts with GET-method? 

If by substitution of any ‘options’ with any ‘o’ problem persists, you are to use either post+conversion+redirect or javascript forgetting about people who don’t have it or don’t switch it on.

Thanks to everyone for your answers.
I use GET-method to enable a user saving a link.
If my friend sends me a link of any length I will click it. Links from the unknown are quite a different thing.

For example, there are 100 goods but a user applied filter and only 20 of them remained. But only 10 goods are displayed on one page and to view them all a user needs to proceed to the second page.
It’s impossible to do this with GET-method.

As a variant now we may use abbreviation ‘o’ for ‘option’.

I dislike a variant with creation of an optional table for saving POST-data.

As to the restrictions:

The HTTP protocol does not place any a priori limit on the length of a URI. Servers MUST be able to handle the URI of any resource they serve, and SHOULD be able to handle URIs of unbounded length if they provide GET-based forms that could generate such URIs.

Browsers can cut. Explorer doesn’t accept more than 2027.

The basic recipe is already known: you are to apply short (one- or two-symbol) names for variables and optimize their possible meanings. And combine GET with caching of the same kind and repeated request parts. But you are to do it rationally as the charm of parameters transmission through GET is their readability.

What is it? Explain it to me, please.

PilgrimFarAway, you are to replace <a href=...> links with form submit containing hidden fields within which current search criteria are indicated and page number will be set.

Maybe I really was wrong…

<form action=...... method=POST>
<input type=hidden .........>
<input type=hidden .........>
<input type=hidden .........>
<input type=hidden name=page id=page>
</form>

onclick=setPage(12);someForm.submit();return false

That’s what I’m talking about.

I was killed with the phrase

Or maybe it’s because of users who curse by attempt to press ‘back’ button?

Curse is really about to start here…
