GET buffers

 [1/4] from: office::thousand-hills::net at: 16-Oct-2001 18:51


I posted this last month but didn't get any takers -I'm still in need of advice. I have a CGI written usint the GET function, works like it should except it is clipping data at 2040 bytes. This is a common CGI problem except I once saw an article writen about REBOL adding buffer space by adding numbers to the end of the line something like this: cgi: make object! decode-cgi system/options/cgi/query-string 5000 5000 or this <FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/capmetro.pl" METHOD="GET" 5000 5000> But I can't find the particulars on how to make it work. Any help? John

John: I don't have a solution for your question. Sorry. In the 5 years that I have been doing CGI programming, I have heard and seen references to limitations on the "GET" method. I have to ask this question, even though I assume that you have thought of it already: Have you thought of using "POST" instead? I have successfully "POSTED" data from over 400 fields and captured all (up to 20,000 bytes, if I remember correctly). tj

TIM: Did you loose your ability to manipulate fields into an HTML file? My file failed when I tried POST, here are my lines in GET, please tell me how you would alter them for POST. And thanks.. HTML FILE: <FORM Method="GET" Action="/scripts/_resume101601.r"> REBOL FILE: cgi: make object! decode-cgi system/options/cgi/query-string John
