The query is so long because it's created "manually" in a java program and
passed to perl script as input parameter

What I dont understand is that, if the website i'm connecting has a form GET
how can I change this? I mean,,,, if it's a form from my application I can
change HTML code without problems but in a external website ... if the form
is GET how can I use POST??


Thanks!

If the QUERY_STRING is too long for the URL, your only option is to use
POST.

GET will allow for "canned" queries--that is, you can create a link that
will execute the query on the server.

POST, however, will require a form and its fields to be populated. When
you click Submit, the data will be sent to the server and the query
executed. Just try it and see if it works.

I am curious to know... How did you derive the QUERY_STRING for your
URL? If it's too long to be used in the URL, then it's not likely that
you came by the string at the web site you're trying to use it at.
