I’m developing a content uploading tool that is currently GETing the html data in the URL

(For example: “this is my <strong>content<strong> –submit–> http://site.com/?content=this+is+my+<strong>+content+<strong>)

I realize this is a bad way to do it and I’m working on a replacement but I’ll need this to work for my users for the time being.

When I tested this on my machine (virtual host) it worked fine, but now that I have it up on my Nexcess server it returns “bad request.” I assume this has something to do with a Nexcess setting?

Here is an example of one such request.

Is there some sort of setting I could turn off for the time being?

    Chances are, it is because the URL is to long (specifically the query string).

    By the looks of it, you are not POSTing the data, but are GETing the data. Simply switching the form from GET to POST will likely fix the problem, since POST data is not nearly as restricted in length as GET data tends to be.
