1) I have not tried post as we are using SolrJ version 6.4 - There is no option 
to change the method of the request as far as I know from looking at the 
documentation.

2) The list changes very often but I will explore this option further to see if 
there is some subset of elements that is always requested.

Two quick thoughts without computer access:
1) have you tried post? Usually they do work for all calls.
2) if the list does not change often, you can add it to the request handler 
definition. Or even as a separate paramset to pass by reference. Either way you 
would not need to have it in URL every time.
