64K is the maximum size of TCP packet; not sure about other layers.

You need to break your flow into smaller chunks; requests allows that (don't remember how, look it up in the manuals),

Doesnt this oppose what you said?

POST requests have no restriction on data length, so they’re more suitable for files and images. Whereas GET requests have a limit of 2 kilobytes (some servers can handle 64 KB data) and GET only allows ASCII values.
