Passing array into query string – Asp.net

I need to send array as query parameter, I do it like this

StringBuilder Ids = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < array.Count; i++)
{
    Ids.Append(String.Format("&id[{0}]={1}", i, items[i].ID));
}
                    
ifrDocuments.Attributes.Add("src", "Download.aspx?arrayCount=" + array.Count + Ids);

After this I have string:

Download.aspx?arrayCount=8&id[0]=106066&id[1]=106065&id[2]=106007&id[3]=105284&id[4]=105283&id[5]=105235&id[6]=105070&id[7]=103671

It can contain 100 elements and in this case I’m getting error:

Maybe I can do it in another way? Not by sending it inside query qtring.

    There is a limit on URL length on multiple levels (browsers, proxy servers, etc). You can change maxQueryString (*1) but I would not recommend it if you expect real users to use your system.

    It looks like downloads.aspx is your page. Put all those ids in temporary storage – (cache or database) and pass the key to this new entity in the request

    QueryString is not the way to pass an array because of the limits.
    If you have hands on the endpoint, you should consider sending your array in a POST Body.
