Re: Posting data to a web page

I've heard that ~256 characters is about the safe limit. -Mike At 12:25 PM 12/4/2001 +0000, you wrote:

Be careful using long urls! It's a very unreliable mechanism. I've tried it in the past and anything over 1K is pushing your luck. Depending on the systems the URL is being passed through I've had truncations (or just things going horribly wrong) from as little as 500 characters before now - and of course unless you're on a purely local setup, it might not even be consistent. It's more work but for anything like this use POST if you can. -Steve
