i read this thread and found it interesting. i don't know the answer and wan unable to find it. I know that at the length of the data in a GE T messgage is fixed and limited by constraints on valid URL formatting.
However, post is obviously not. I couldn't find any concrete info on the POST length and I went as far as looking into the ISO for http. That leads me to believe that there isn't one. I don't see how that can really be any practical limit on a POST messag e since you can use it so send a <file> input stream. anyone have insight here?
