Question

I am using following ajax call in my .net application. this function execute on click of a button.

$.get("PublishIntermediate.ashx",
        { 
          SiteID: "" + SiteID + "",
          PageID: "" + PageIDs + "",
          UserID: "" + UserID + "",
          Location: "" + "website" + ""  
        },
        function(data) 
            {
    //other code    
            }
        );
      return false; 

It works fine when PageIDs variable is not too long. But sometimes “PageIDs” variable becomes too long(if user has too many pages) and the ajax call’s length, which I checked from firebug , is too long and the server is returning error. I checked from IIS7 that querystring limit has been exceeded. Is there any other way for performing this task?

Answer 1

GET method has a limit for data

Although the specification of the HTTP protocol does not specify any maximum length, practical limits are imposed by web browser and server software.

, use POST method in jquery, use $.post(paras) instead $.get(paras).
