The HTTP spec doesn't specify any limits. And trust me, not all versions of Netscape had that limit. Version 4.51 and up doesn't (4.7x certainly doesn't) You can test this so easily, I'm not even going to write code for it. I'll say that you can do it in roughly 2 lines of code.

All versions of Netscape were around 255. You could write a page that dynamic creates a page link with 100 parameters or so, redirects and the target page lists the parameters.... ;) Sorry - I can't be more specific or provide references. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Tifer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : I'm pretty sure it's been over 255 characters for a while, and : that it's also a browser-dependant number. : : Chris Tifer : : ----- Original Message ----- : From: "Tsiris Alexandros" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : > : > > 255 would be my quess : > : > that's what I thought (256 to be exact), but this says 1024!??? : > : > http://www.aspfree.com/authors/robert/faq.asp?id=3 --- You are currently subscribed to activeserverpages as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
