Can I safely increase MAX_URL to 12KByte?

Hello,

there is a web application, which uses URLs longer than 8 KByte.
Now I would like to set MAX_URL to 12 KByte in src/defines.h, but I'am not
sure what negative effects this might have.

Does anybody know if I can safely increase this value to 12 KByte?
