Thanks Laura,

You are the first to confirm a size limit.  Like you, I found a way around it.  
It just would have been nice to know about this up front.  For all I know, it 
actually is documented somewhere and folks just do not hit that limit due to 
other limiting factors.

Any idea if it was a 15k limit on a property, or a 15k limit on the overall RBO?

Subject: Re: [U2] Redback Limit

Hi John, I hit a Redback size limit at a clients also. The app was fine, and 
then all of a sudden it stopped working. The RBO was very straight forward - it 
captured data from the web, and then transmitted it to the back end. IIRC, the 
limit was just over 15,000 characters. I didn't redesign the whole app, but 
instead looped on the submission - limiting the # of rows submitted each 
itteration. The client had a bunch of RBOs with a bunch of submissions, and we 
were suprised to find a limit. But it was absolutely reproduceable. I don't 
think that they ever encountered this problem since then, and it's real 
possible that an application upgrade (redback, unidata) also helped.
 
Hope that helps! Or at least you have a sympathetic ear.
 
-Laura

It was not timing out. I have other pages that take longer. It really seemed to 
be a size limit. I develop with FF with a Web Developer plug-in that helps a 
lot. I validate with IE, Chrome, Opera and Safari, but FF is my preferred 
browser.

Try using cURL or wget, with an unlimited timeout, and get the real headers
from the server. Assuming you're using IE, it rarely tells a true story when
it comes to server connection issues or HTTP errors.
