In those name/value pairs, according to HTML 4 at least, the names

Garbage in, garbage out.

Above the OP is talking about a request "body". Are we sure that this
is really a request body, and not a query-string ?
What does the <form> tag really look like ? (enctype)
Just thinking that if this is a query-string, is it not just being cut
off after a certain size ?
It would not be possible to submit this data as multipart/form-data,
for a similar reason to what Phil says.
It's regular form data using the post method, so no length issue and
normal URI parameter rules apply. I suspect Phil is correct but I can't
find any mention of this in the HTML 4 spec, which is what prompted my
question. Phil, can you point me to the part of the spec which
specifies that a field name must begin with an ASCII letter?
cheers
