Hopefully someone online knows the answer to this problem. I've read there is a radio transmitter limitation of around 8K on a Palm VII/VIIx meaning that the power output of the transmitter falls quickly and fails if you try to send more than around 8K at one time. I've not verified this, but that is not my problem.
Since yesterday I noticed that 95% of the time my Palm VII/VIIx is not able to recieve replies to HTTP requests over 7K-8.5K. In other words, it recieves 7K-8.5K of a long reply, but then waits and waits for the rest of the reply. I've watched this several times in the debugger and can say for certainty that the reply being received is exactly what it should be and the data simply stops coming in at anywhere from 7K to 8.5K. One the other hand, once in a while (1 out of 40 times?) it does work with all of the data coming in, but it takes a long time to receive the full message which might be 12K-20K. I was certain this was not a problem before yesterday, but since much of my work is done on the emulator and since long replies are not frequent, this may have always been a limitation that I missed. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there a "limit" because of Palm.net or the Palm hardware on the size of the reply to an HTTP request? Again, I'm asking about a limitation on how much data a Palm VII/VIIx can receive, not on how much it can send. By the way, the reply is actually xml, not HTTP and the reply is encoded as an xml reply -- Palm.net does leave the content alone. -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/
