request.getPara meter length

Harry

Hi there,

I have a problem attempting to get a parameter with the
request.getPara meter method. The problem is that the method is cutting
off the parameter at 30 characters. The setup is as such. We have a
flash file embedded within a html page. The flash file contains href
links, and these links contain the parameters and their values. The
flash file used the method, getUrl to go to the href page. The problem
occurs, when the parameters are read from the href page. Using an
fscommand, I found that the flash file contained the correct url and
parameters. I have read that the length of the flash file urls can
exceed 150 characters. The problem url is only 125 characters long.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

Harry

I'm not familiar with what you mean by "flash file" - are you talking
about Macromedia Flash? What matters is the URL that actually goes across
the line back to the server. So the first thing I would do is use a
network sniffer (such as Windows Network Monitor or Linux tcpdump, both
part of the operating system, at least in the more advanced versions) and
see whether the URL sent to the server is truncated or not.

Come to think about it, you may be able to find the full URL in various
log files, too, might be easier than setting up a monitor.
