You can't use URIs more than about 512 bytes without messing up older browsers, so there are various practical limits. Apache will handle up to about an 8k URI. > When I POST less than 8K, the transfer works > successfully. When I post more, I get the error message I don't understand how your POST is generating a huge URI. This is outside Apache's control. POST should generate a request body, and not change the URI. Or perhaps your script is generating a massive URI in the action="" field. If so, then I suggest you move some of the data in that URI into hidden fields. Dean
