Hi Simon, Yes, sadly there is a limit to the current <@URL> Metatag and I think you've reached it.
Happily v5 has introduced configurable limits for <@URL> with a new attribute called: MAXRESULTSIZE which is only limited by the amount of memory on your machine. Of course, as is the case with any memory intensive function - the higher you set your limit, the more it could impact performance. But because v5 isn't quite here yet - to solve your challenge Simon, I might suggest just writing your particular Send() function in ASP. I'm assuming because you are using MSXML that you are a Windows Server and possibly using IIS? The MSXML SDK comes with many examples of how to do simple XML Posting in ASP using IServerXMLHTTPRequest / ServerXMLHTTP. Then just call the ASP page with <@URL> and simply report back some success or failer text to Witango. If you need a hand pulling this together, contact me off-list and I'll see what I can do.
