window.returnValue size limit?

I have a page that I'm opening modally (window.ShowModalDialog) and I need to pass approximately 20k to 30k of data back and forth between the two pages in the DialogArguments and the window.returnValue; however there appears to be a 4kb (4096 byte) limit on the window.returnValue.

First, has anyone else run into this and if so, is there a way to get around it? This app is an intranet app where I can change the users' registries if needed so that is an option if there's a setting that would allow this 4k to be increased.

Second, does anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this if I can't get around the 4k boundary? Right now, I think we are going to settle on writing the contents to a file on the client for sharing between the two pages, but that might ultimately seem to slow to be acceptable.

Thanks in advance for any help!!
