Passing a hash through a URL
I have a question about passing data through URL's. I'm passing hashes in a CGI script, but sometimes when I click on a link that passes a larger hash, nothing happens. I don't get any message. I'm guessing there is a limit to the amount of data I can pass through a URL? If this is the case, are there any ways to fix this problem? Thanks for the help, Josiah -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I assume by "passing data through URL's" you mean using GET. there is a limit, I don't remember exactly what it is. if you use POST there is effectively no limit. hth Al Hospers CamberSoft, Inc. alcambersoftcom http://www.cambersoft.com Shockwave and Director development, CD-ROM, HTML, CGI scripting, and Graphic Design.

RE: Passing a hash through a URL
Hi. Thanks for the response. I'm passing the hash with an href in this
manner. So does this mean that I'm not using get or post?
$query = CGI->new({red => [%{$clusArrayHash[$i]}]})->query_string;
print pre h6 (" ", a ({ -href =>
"http://140.247.111.176/cgi-bin/redundancies.pl?red=$query"; }, "Redundant
sequences"));

I assume by "passing data through URL's" you mean using GET. there is
a limit, I don't remember exactly what it is. if you use POST there is
effectively no limit.

It's a 'get' method. You're limited, I think, to 256 characters.
