1. http_get limits?

Is there a limit to the length of an http_get command line? I've got one that's 1238 bytes long and doesn't seem to work (I get a -5 error).

However, if I shorten it to say 84 bytes (with a query string), it works perfectly.

What's happening? Am I being a bugmagnet again?

Kind regards,
Bruce/bugmagnet

Interesting. The IIS6 server on my laptop here limits me to 2048 characters. Seems to be server specific.

Am running the following to see what response I get

sequence url = origurl 
 
for i = 1 to 2048 label "main" do 
	url = url & s 
	object res = http_get(url) 
	printf(1, "%d ", {i} ) 
	if atom(res) then 
		printf( 1, "\nfails on length of %d\n", {i+length(url)}) 
		exit "main" 
	else 
		--printf( 1, "'%s' ", {remove(res[2],1,2)} )  
	end if 
end for
