Hi Vivek,
LTM and iRule are fine to handle URI's till the maximum HTTP-request size limit has been reached (default is 32768 bytes for the entire request). But APM's HUD filter and probably other TMOS modules too, are not able to handle such large URIs and may complain when URIs with >4095 chars are getting requested.
Although the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol specs (RFC2616) are not specifying any min/max requirement for the URL length. Some browsers are having a build-in restriction and failing to send request URIs longer than 2000 chars. So better not use those long URIs if you can't control which browser is used to access your application (aka. public website).
