[REBOL] Re: read bug?

I know of no such buffer limit. Generally speaking, REBOL
uses expandable series for just about everything. If there
is a buffer limit, then it's quite by accident somewhere,
and we should track it down.
Also, have you tried using read/custom with POST data
as described in the manual? It allows you to keep the
POST data out of the URL and put it into the body of
the http packet where it belongs. Much better for large
amounts of data, for example if you wanted to post an
image or file or large REBOL block.
The reason that CGI uses the REBOL CGI object with all of its
fields is to make it similar to standard CGI interface
found on most systems.
CGI all around is generally a kludge from the start. This
is not unique to REBOL. It was added as an afterthought to
http.
