POST also has a (larger) limit. Actually, both *could* be limitless. A server is require to have NO LESS THAN $x for its limit on GET. A server is require to have NO LESS THAN $y for its limit on POST. $y >> $x but it has a (possible) limit. Servers are recommended to have the limits as high as possible. So, again, it boils down to this: POST versus GET is an aesthetic choice, not Security, not Performance. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
