Re: Questions regarding WebSpace 1.1 for SGI

: 1. One of my WWWAnchor nodes contains a URL which executes a script
: which returns HTML. Upon receiving HTML, WebSpace 1.0 and 1.1 on SGI
: pass the URL to my browser (Netscape 1.1). Unfortunately, the URL is
: truncated when Netscape gets it.

: Here are some environment variables from the initial WebSpace request:

: REQUEST_METHOD = GET
: HTTP_ACCEPT = x-world/x-vrml
: PATH_INFO = /1
: PATH_TRANSLATED = /usr/people/pavel/work/extern/httpd/ncsa/htdocs/1
: SCRIPT_NAME = /cgi-bin/FundAction
: QUERY_STRING =
tag_=1&id_=16839&action_=getText&data_=income&map_=

: Here is what Netscape ends up requesting:

: REQUEST_METHOD = GET
: HTTP_ACCEPT = */*, image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg
: PATH_INFO = /1
: PATH_TRANSLATED = /usr/people/pavel/work/extern/httpd/ncsa/htdocs/1
: SCRIPT_NAME = /cgi-bin/FundAction
: QUERY_STRING = tag_=1

I think you should use the POST method which uses stdin rather than
the GET method which appends the string onto the URL and can be
limited in length (hence losing bits of your query string).
