(from Java Network Programming) "Because of limitations in the lengths of environment variables on some platforms, the GET method is unreliable for sending more than 200 characters of text."
As well, from http://www.macromedia.com/support/generator/ts/documents/passing_character_limit.htm: "Certain servers and browsers can not pass more than 255 characters through the URL. The W3C proposed HTTP 1.1 standards that state there is no URL character limit, however, 255 bytes/characters is the standard limit across older browsers and HTTP servers. Quoting from the HTTP 1.1 standards document: The HTTP protocol does not place any a priori limit on the length of a URI. Servers MUST be able to handle the URI of any resource they serve, and SHOULD be able to handle URIs of unbounded length if they provide GET-based forms that could generate such URIs. A server SHOULD return 414 (Request-URI Too Long) status if a URI is longer than the server can handle (see section 10.4.15). Note: Servers should be cautious about depending on URI lengths above 255 bytes, because some older client or proxy implementations may not properly support these lengths." hth michael corbridge macromedia > -----Original Message----- > From: Yves Arsenault [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, January 11, 2003 7:03 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: URL Scope > > > Hello, > > I was just wondering (because I have never come across any such > information) if there is a limit to the number of URL > variables one can > pass to another CF template. > > TIA, > > Yves Arsenault > Carrefour Infotech > 5, Acadian Dr. > Charlottetown, PEI > C1C 1M2 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > (902)368-1895 ext.242 > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
