This is a handy trick that I've used on multiple occasions. However, it may not work on some corporate networks that filter URLs with more than a certain number of characters (I've encountered limits of 2048 and 4096 characters).
The rationale being that long URLs are often suspicious and could potentially be used for SQL injection or path traversal attacks. Whether or not this is a good heuristic is left as an exercise to the reader.
