WCF REST and 206 character URL limit

Hello all

I am currently developing a WCF REST service. One of the requirements
is to allow the users to search data via the rest interface. As such
key field information is passed in the URL. The number of key fields
can vary and as such a request string format is used to collate all
the required fields into one URL parameter.

This means I am hitting the limit of 260 characters for each url
parameter

EG.

http://address/element1/element2/

if element 2 exceeds 260 characters then a bad request error seems to
be generated by the framework. Now I can change my design to pass
these key field information via the body of a POST but the users want
to execute this call from the browser.

So does anyone know if this limit change be changed via configuration,
is this an MS limit or a http protocol limit?

Many thanks

Mo

I want to build a web form that has text areas with max character limits, and ensure that the text generated from the form will fit within allotted spaces in an InDesign Print Template. The text areas will contain headers and paragraphs. My problem is, how do I determine the max character limit? A text area that comfortably fits 1000 characters when there are 2 or 3 headers will not fit 1000 characters if there are, say, 15+ headers—since...

I am currently populating a word document with data from Access via VBA. I am, however, running into the character limit in the DocProperties that I am populating. Is there a way to override this restriction? Am I going to have to revert to using bookmarks to accomplish this task (which would be a pain because there is decent amount of repetitive use of the same data).

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
