thanks people -----Original Message----- From: Joel Nath [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 19 March 2003 11:06 AM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] RE: URL string
" Certain servers and browsers can not pass more than 255 characters through the URL. The W3C proposed HTTP 1.1 standards (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2068/rfc2068) 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.
