Each checked item/folder extends the URL for VolView. This could get too long.
The item and folder IDs are encoded in the "save back" url parameter. This is so the plugin can save the IDs as metadata on the sesson.volview.zip file.

Chat GPTs background:
The maximum length of a URL can vary depending on the context and the software handling the URL. Here are some general guidelines:
HTTP/1.1 Specification: The HTTP/1.1 specification (RFC 2616) does not define a maximum URL length. However, practical limits are imposed by web browsers, servers, and other software.
Web Browsers:
Internet Explorer: Historically, Internet Explorer has a maximum URL length of 2,083 characters.
Google Chrome: Chrome supports URLs up to 2MB in length, but this is far beyond practical use.
Mozilla Firefox: Firefox supports URLs up to 65,536 characters.
Web Servers:
Apache: By default, Apache has a limit of 8,192 bytes for the request line (which includes the URL).
Nginx: Nginx has a default limit of 4,096 bytes for the request line.
Search Engines: Search engines like Google may truncate URLs longer than 2,000 characters, which can affect indexing and ranking.
Practical Considerations: While technically possible to have very long URLs, it's generally advisable to keep URLs under 2,000 characters to ensure compatibility across different browsers and servers.
In summary, while there is no strict maximum length for URLs, keeping them under 2,000 characters is a good practice to ensure broad compatibility.
