Matt: Try this...
Client code ============================= #!/usr/bin/perl -w use LWP; use strict; my $request = HTTP::Request->new(POST => 'http://24.58.176.170/demo/test-post.asp'); $request->content_type( 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' ); $request->content( 'name=' . 'junk ' x 4096 ); my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; my $response = $ua->request( $request ); if ( $response->is_success ) { print $response->content."\n\n"; } else { print $response->error_as_HTML."\n\n"; } Apache::ASP code ============================== <% my $data = $Request->Form()->{name} %> The data is: <%=$data%> The size is: <%=length($data)%> Enjoy!
