Hi everyone, thank you for such quick responses! So in terms of if I'm using Tomcat to serve Geoserver, I'm not certain - I am using a standard install so I thought this used the built-in webserver - which I assume is Java?
Secondly, while joining two layers together might help a bit to keep the url length down - it won't be a permanent solution for me because of the dynamism required by the cql_filter (this would vary in length) Thirdly, unfortunately I cannot use POST because I'm integrating it into Mapbox which seems to want a url (no post options as far as I can tell). Thank you so much for all your responses so far, if there is any other suggestion I'd really appreciate it - for example a way to perhaps alter the webserver to handle longer urls?
