The HTTP protocol limits the length of a URL to 1024 characters total. If you need to pass data to a website in excess of that, you will need to use POST.
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
-- BOEB - Bruce's Own Euphoria Bugs
include std/net/http.e
with trace
trace(2)
--sequence url = "http://localhost:8088/a.prx?a="
sequence origurl = "http://openeuphoria.org/forum/index.wc?a="
sequence s = "1"
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
