My server is OpenSA (Apache 1.3.27 running SSL) on a W2K Pro box. I am using a form with method=POST. When $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'} is less that 350, it works fine. When the length is greater than 350, nothing is passed and STDIN is empty even though $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'} reports the correct length!

The issue may be with the Apache server, but I can't figure out where any POST limitation might be. Besides, I can't imagine Apache eliminating the POST when its length is greater than 350 characters.

Any ideas? I am stumped.
 
The addition of LimitRequestBody 0 to the configuration file had no effect.

Netscape and Opera performed as expected, while IE fails to submit the POST.

I am unable to access Tools>Internet Options, which also surprises me. I am a member of the Administrators group.

I am thinking that IE is messed up, but that is a separate forum.

Thanks for the responses.
