[Rails-spinoffs] Re: Textarea Submissions through ajax.updater

[Deco Rior]

Just for completeness: Microsoft Internet Explorer has a maximum uniform resource locator (URL) length of 2,083 characters. Internet Explorer also has a maximum path length of 2,048 characters. This limit applies to both POST request and GET request URLs.  If you are using the GET method, you are limited to a maximum of 2,048 characters, minus the number of characters in the actual path. However, the POST method is not limited by the size of the URL for submitting name/value pairs. These pairs are transferred in the header and not in the URL.  Deco On Nov 1, 2006, at 10:00 AM, Michael Peters wrote: BeeRich wrote: Using ajax.updater, I want to submit a form which has 2 items in it.

GET has a limit on the data it can send, but a POST does not.
