I was using IE5.0 running IIS with CF4.0 and I ran into limit of 255 when testing, so I switched to session variables for longer items. Let me know if this is an User error, since it created extra work.

HTTP places no limit on url length and the W3C specifically reccomends that servers should be able to accept a url of any length, the same goes for clients. Apache used to have a a 4K limit, although that may have changed with the new versions. I don't know IIS's limit if any. Just as an example, the USPS API uses xml packets sent as HTTP Get requests... jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Ousterhout" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 9:25 PM Subject: RE: Passing a Struct through a url. > I believe there is an upper limit of 255 characters on URL parameters. > > Andy > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jared Clinton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 8:12 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Passing a Struct through a url. > > > Brian, > > You 'can' serialise a structure into a wddx string, then urlencode it and > use it as a normal URL parameter - deserialising on the other side of the > interaction. > > If you would want to is another matter. > > I'm not sure but there may be an upper limit on the length of URLs last time > I tried it didn't seem that there was (I only tried up to 4k) but some proxy > servers may disagree. > > Jared Clinton > NEC Australia > > ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
