Hi, I'm hoping that you can help me with an issue we have come across regarding some new development we're doing around the use of CGI Apache web services.
I work in the Systems department for Premier Farnell (Leeds), we had an in-house course a while back that was presented by Paul Tuohy.. this was intended to give us an insight into CGI Apache and what it could do for our business... hence this email now.
Our problem is this... we want to provide a web service that will provide a real time data link between our AS400 and web sites... we have achieved this without a problem using a url "get" request to the CGI Apache server on the AS400.
However, the problem we have stumbled onto is the maximum size of the query string that we can use... this is limited to 8190 bytes... I believe this is a "Directive" constraint in Apache called: LimitRequestLine
We understand that there isn't such a limit using a "post" request but before we re-develop everything we have done we wanted to make sure that there wasn't anything we could do to get around the constraint I have just mentioned. We would be looking at a maximum size more in the region of 32k.
I'd be very grateful if you could me what the "correct" course of action should be to resolve this problem please?
Regards, Andy.
