ASP: Truncated URL

[Leo595]

I have a page that creates dynamic hyperlinks for each recorded
displayed. Many of the constructed URLs exceed 128 characters. Those
that with greater than 128 are truncated for some reason unknown to
me. I know that IE supports URLs up to 2048 characters. Is there a way
for me to create and use longer URLs in my ASP dynamic links?

Example:
This code:
response.write "<a href=""somepage.asp?
a=1234567890&b=1234567890&c=1234567890&d=1234567890&e=1234567890&f=12345678­90&g=1234567890&h=1234567890&i=1234567890&j=1234567890&k=1234567890&l=12345­67890&m=1234567890"">asdf</
a>"


Creates a url that appears like this:


http://localhost/pages/somepage.asp?
a=1234567890&b=1234567890&c=1234567890&d=1234567890&e=1234567890&f=12345678­90&g=1234567890&

It might be because &h is read as a HEX value.

It truncates in the client source or when the link it activated?

The best way to go about this is post the URL as a FORM POST, rather than
put it in the URL. That way you can send much larger data and info without
any truncation by any browser.
