Hi, I'm hoping that you can help me with a= n issue we have come across regarding some new development we're doing arou= nd the use of CGI Apache web services.

I work in the Systems department for Premi= er Farnell (Leeds), we had an in-house course a while back that was present= ed by Paul Tuohy..  this was intended to give us an insight into CGI A= pache and what it could do for our business... hence this email now.=

Our problem is this... we want to provide = a web service that will provide a real time data link between our AS400 and= web sites... we have achieved this without a problem using a url "get= " request to the CGI Apache server on the AS400.

However, the problem we have stumbled onto= is the maximum size of the query string that we can use... this is limited= to 8190 bytes... I believe this is a "Directive" constraint in A= pache called: LimitRequestLine

We understand that there isn't such a limi= t using a "post" request but before we re-develop everything we h= ave done we wanted to make sure that there wasn't anything we could do to g= et around the constraint I have just mentioned. We would be looking at a ma= ximum size more in the region of 32k.

I'd be very grateful if you could me what = the "correct" course of action should be to resolve this problem = please?

Regards, Andy.
