Re: 256 character limit in URL? Kinda urgent...

texte = This is the Bank of America eStores system, which works like the old authorize.net gateway, I believe. The checkout form is posted to the B of A server, where the card and address info are captured. Then the user is invisibly redirected back to our server with the authorization data in this massive URL. Here's an example: https://www.domain.com/process.tpl?m=SBA&IOC_merchant_order_id=&IOC_merchant _shopper_id=&IOC_shopper_id=TQ7L6R71DK4F8G5VEF3K84GRFG9R4556&IOC_response_co de=7&Ecom_transaction_complete=TRUE&IOC_pcard_response=N&Ecom_Payment_Card_V erification_RC=&IOC_missing_fields=&IOC_invalid_fields=(Ecom_Payment_Card_Nu mber,,%2AUnknown+Card+Type%280%29%2A+is+not+an+accepted+Credit+Card%2E++Plea se+use+a+different+credit+card+for+this+purchase%2E),(Ecom_Payment_Card_ExpD ate_Month,1,The+expiration+month%2Fyear+is+invalid%2E)&IOC_Invalid_Request=& IOC_reject_description=There+are+invalid+fields%2E&fno=400&cart=109962233432 155&requiredconfirm=T You can see the cart number near the end of the URL -- it is passed through B of A and back to us. Using the cart number we match the B of A auth data to the shopping cart and append the whole mess to our db's. What I can't figure is why this worked great in OS9/W*4/webdna4 for three years and now with OSX/W*5/webdna6 (I tried it in 4.5, too) it breaks. Looks like I'll have to go back and re-install the G3 tomorrow.
