texte = Have you tested the page without that long var coming in to see what happened? Have you tested it unsecure with/without the long var? I imagine you have, but these are the first things I would do to isolate the issue. At first I was thinking that you could 'catch' the var with a [listwords word=[paRes]&delimiter=/][text]chunk[index]=[word][/text][/listwords] and break up the var into smaller chunks then put it back together later, but that doesn't solve the fact that it's just plain huge coming in... interesting. If I think of anything, I'll post. -Dan On Wed, 11 Apr 2007 14:58:48 +0100 Mark Derrick wrote: > OK, this is a long shot - and I apologise in advance for the length of the code example - but >I've been pulling my hair out for weeks now trying to figure out why my server is taking so long >to answer this request and display the page.
