texte = WC'ers,I'm using webcat 4.02 on both Win98 & MacOSXI'm passing several variables by encrypted query string back to the same template. The link code looks something like the following:
editthe values of the query string are sometimes lengthy and contain _ characters. For example, valuethree might be: sum_customer_emergency_contact_phone.On the Win98 platform, it works fine without fail. On the MacOSX platform however, I get intermittent trouble.Sometimes it's fine. Other times I get an error page with The page cannot be displayed on IE 5.5, or a dialog box with the document contains no data. Try again later, or contact the servers administrator on Netscape 4.7.The encrypted query string from the IE 5.5 browser appears something like this example:http://server.com/~folder/folder/folder/folder/folder/page.html?one=v%2519R% 252A%25D3%25B4%25CF%25F6%2581%25CCS%259Ac%258F%25E5h%25E4%25B5%2508%2515%252 3%25E1%25F4%257D&two=%25A2%2586%25E26G%25F3%2514%2581%258C%2512%2595%2507%25 C8%25A6RS&three=%25EF%2521u%25F6%25A6%253B%25B6G92%25E4%25FBP%257D%2520%257D %259C%25F9%25EFkB%25D3%25C2/X%2511i%25A6%25D3%2529%25EA%25BA%2596%2528%25C5_ %25E1%2589Q5&four=%258Ex%2595-c%25C0PF%251D6%25C6%253E%25D4%2584f%2586%25C7% 25C8%25DD%25D9%2510n%25F0%25B3Removing the encryption removes the problem. Also, there appears to be a correlation between longer values and the server error.Is there a limit on query string length? Is this an OSX configuration or limitation issue? Other ideas?Gracias Amigos y Amigas!
