Question

I am calling my cross domain web-service through a getJson() call from jQuery. As my response object size is pretty big, i have used the maximum JSon size for my web-service. I have checked getJson() is giving proper response object. But still my callback function is not called. Firebug is saying that it’s(firefox) response size is exceeded.

Can anybody tell me whats the maximum browser response size limit that the standard browser e.g (firefox, ie) handle and how to deal with the problem?

Here is the code snippet for the same.

 //Wrapper call to the actual getJson call
 function getResponse() {
    var localService = new getServiceProxy("SearchData.asmx");
    localService.invoke("Search", "", "successcall");
 }

 //getJson call
 function getServiceProxy(serviceUrl) {
     var _I = this;
     this.serviceUrl = serviceUrl;

     // *** Call a wrapped object
     this.invoke = function(method, data, callback, error) {

         if (data == "") {
             var url = _I.serviceUrl + "/" + method + "?output=json&callback=?";
         }
         else {
             url = _I.serviceUrl + "/" + method + "?" + data + "&output=json&callback=?";
         }
         $.getJSON(url, function(arg) {       
             var evalstr = callback + "(" + JSON.stringify(arg) + ");";
             eval(evalstr);
         });
     }
 }

 //success callback function
 function successcall(multiSearchResponse) {
     //use the response.
 }

any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks Subrat.

Ive been through this once in a project, and what I recall was that IE has a limit of 2083 characters for both POST and GET requests. FF has a larger limit, but not limitless.
