i integrating with an software, where they sending their document to my url with too large query string value. i.e. more than 75000 char for a parameter. i am in a R&D phase to check whether integration is works. i came to know that browsers will limit the query string. i want to get their document into to my server. i google but not get the answer. the url is in following fashion
Http:\\myurl?document=thierdocument in base64 encoded format
guide me to overcome the problem
This is not going to work. The query string is limited to a few thousand characters depending on the browser (i.e. 2083 characters for IE). Use a
HTTP POSTinstead and put the document in binary format in the body of the request.The main idea of a URL was to be a Uniform Resource Locator, not to pass all the data as part of the URL itself. You cannot work around the browser limits on URLs (neither should you arguably) – an alternative could be passing the document id in form of a number or Guid, then looking up that document to process as part of your page.
