Error Passing 32 Bit Integer in URL

I am not sure if this is a CL issue or a PHP or HTTP issue, but when I try to pass the number 4294967295 or anything larger in the URL, I get a 403 error. 

For example:

Code:

https://myurl.com/event?device=4294967295

throws an error but

Code:

https://myurl.com/event?device=4294967294

or

Code:

https://myurl.com/event?device=4294967290

do not. 


Is there a way around this? We use 4294967295 as the serial number for our test devices and need to pass it in the URL. 
Is there a way to encode it, or do I need to make a secial route?
