Request.QueryString Limitations?

Hi everyone.

I have a webForm that gets input using the querystring , builds an image
according to the input and therefor renders an image as a contentType/GIF in
the output stream.

I use this webForm as the imageUrl of an image control on another page.

the problem is that some of the bitmaps i have to render has a lot of data
that goes into the queryString. seems like the rendered HTML (from the ASPX
page) that has the image control and the imageUrl attribute is doing a good
job. the image is not displayed (only in the "large data" images). when i
copy this url and paste it at the addres bar it shows up ok.

my guess is that the url string gets split/chopped/hell knows what.

any suggestions?

thanx,

Picho

Hi

Maximum URL Length Is 2,083 Characters in Internet Explorer.
You have to use Post method to submit larger size data like image or large amount of text
Please see

And any old proxy in-between may limit the query string even more and chop
it off... yes, do POST.
