I am currently adding a new web-service as a data-source for our application. The current web-services are queried simply by GETing a simple and short URL with a short query string.
The new web-service, though, requires sending the request XML encoded, and in a strange way: The XML is the content of a parameter called "xml". The demo application provided by the web-service provider uses POST to send the request. However, implementing POST requests would require a major redesign of our current application. So, I tried if I can send the request via GET. And, I'm lucky: It works! That GET URL looks like this, and it will *always* be below 1000 characters: http://xml.example.com/?xml=%3C%3Fxml+version... The client is always "libcurl" and the server is also clearly defined. So, I shouldn't be worried about the long URL - right? ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
