request.querystring length max

[dal.luc]

Hello,

I want to load an asp page with a very great variable part (something
like save.asp?myvariable=aa...zzzzz
I know the length of aa...zzzzz is limited to 255 characters. But I
would like to be able to send a request of length, let say of 2500
characters.

Can someone help me ?

Thanks

Use

<form method='post'><input name ='myvariable'>...

and

request.form("myvariable")

The problem is that my page is sent by a javascript :
location.replace("save.asp?myvariable=aaaaaaa....zzzz")

Any idea for this situation ?

Thanks a lot

Make a hidden form in your page:

<form id="myform" action="save.asp" method="post">
<input type="hidden" id="myvariable">
</form>

Now, instead of the "location.replace" line you quoted above, use
these lines:

document.getElementById("myvariable").value="aaaaaaa.....zzzz";
document.getElementById("myform").submit();

Right, thanks. The id attribute so the script can access it easily,
the name attribute so that it will be submitted.
