I have some webservices I use, with actual banks, like FDR, and
cardservices, that require HORRENDOUSLY long get arguments. The only
time there is a limit, is if it is imposed by the client, or the
server. So if the server has no limit, and I would imagine this is the
case with a webservice that requires xml in the get argument, then I
would suspect either @url is putting the brakes on it, or your xml
needs to be prepared to fit on a single line, and URLENCODED.
I have a conference call in 7 mins, with a bank with a service like
this, and they don't even allow you to substitute as POST args, must
be get.
The other way to check, is write something in VB and test it. I use
RealBasic, and have not found a limit on GET.
One more note, I know that witango has a limit, due to memory
allocation, on the size of an environment variable passed to a
external app. My guess, is they have some limit on this also.

Hi Chuck,
Unfortunately there is an unspecified limit to how long you can make
a URL. GET requests were never meant to support long strings of
data, thus the POST request. People try, but eventually somewhere in
the URL's travels a proxy, router or gateway somewhere will start
truncating the URL.
Are you sure you're interpretting the webservice's specs correctly?
Do you have any more information you can post?
Let us know, when you have time.
Scott,

We are using a webservice that requires that the XML be passed in
as a get,
not a post argument (so it seems).
The below works until the <@ARG testXML> gets over 2000 characters
then it
starts getting truncated. Am I nuts or does witango do this?
<@ASSIGN request$method_response VALUE="<@URL LOCATION='<@ARG
vURL>&xml=<@ARG TestXML>'>">
Suggestions?
