truncated to about 4K. It sounds as thought there one of those dreaded
fixed-size buffers that overflows...
When I sent a query that very long (50K) the servlet crashed even though
a conventional CGI script had no trouble processing it. When I sent a query
only slightly less than the size that caused the servlet to crash, the reply page (
which listed the fields that were submitted) came up with lots of
material from memory (i.e., non printing characters mixed with
text obvously taken from recently-viewed web pages).
This could be a major security hole!
In my system, I was using Apache 1.3.12 and JServ 1.2.2.
