# URL Truncation Parameter

SDC uses this parameter to overcome a maximum URL length limitation imposed by Internet Explorer (Microsoft Knowledge Base Article – 208427). The URL length must be 2048 or less. If the WebtrendsJavaScript tag generates a URL in excess of 2048 characters and the client browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer, the hit is truncated and is passed to SDC.

#### WT.tu

`WT.tu=1`

SDC generates this parameter and sets it to 1 if the URL was deemed too long and truncated by the JavaScript tag. If present, SDC writes an error and discards the hit.

You can configure the `logtruncatedhits` setting to log the truncated hit rather than discard it.
