  Hi,
  It's not a good idea. Try changing GET to POST. In case you 
 don't know -
  request uris are often cached, logged, etc, so sending any 
 data, especially
  passwords in them is a suicide or worse.
 
 
 I compound the uri internally in my servlet, encode it and do 
 a POST. In fact 
 tomcat shows me the doPost.

But you are not using the body for POST data you are using the URL to
send data, from a HTML perspective it's easy to send post data, simply
send a form with POST method, and you will be sending a request with an
unbounded body of data to be received by the server.., using URLS for
that is guaranteed to be a problem depending in incontrollable
devices ( like proxies or caches or whatever ) it's possible that some
of this uknown devices have a URL limited size, and thus there will be
clients not being able to use your app..


 The question is: I KNOW that I'm using method POST and I know 
 the generated 
 uri is very long. Have you ever try to send so long uris? How 
 to treat them? 
 Can tomcat be configured to handle longer uris?
 

One alternative solution could be to use Tomcat behind a WebServer .. i
dont know.

But actually the problem is more in the way you are doing things than in
the TC itself..

Hi...

I'm trying to send a long uri to Tomcat 3.3 but it complains with error code

Is there a way to tell Tomcat to admit long uris / urls??

RE: Maximum url length

2002-02-05 Thread Deacon Marcus 

Hi,
It's not a good idea. Try changing GET to POST. In case you don't know -
request uris are often cached, logged, etc, so sending any data, especially
passwords in them is a suicide or worse.

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.2.1
The HTTP protocol does not place any a priori limit on the length of a URI.
Servers MUST be able to handle the URI of any resource they serve, and
SHOULD be able to handle URIs of unbounded length if they provide GET-based
forms that could generate such URIs. A server SHOULD return 414 (Request-URI
Too Long) status if a URI is longer than the server can handle (see section
10.4.15).

  Note: Servers ought to be cautious about depending on URI lengths
  above 255 bytes, because some older client or proxy
  implementations might not properly support these lengths.

Greetings, deacon Marcus

RE: Maximum url length

2002-02-05 Thread Shannon Chen 

Internet Explorer has a maximum uniform resource
locator (URL) length of 2,083 characters, with a
maximum path length of 2,048 characters. This limit
applies to both POST and GET request URLs. 

If you are using the GET method, you are limited to a
maximum of 2,048 characters (minus the number of
characters in the actual path, of course). 

POST, however, is not limited by the size of the URL
for submitting name/value pairs, because they are
transferred in the header and not the URL.

Re: Maximum url length

2002-02-05 Thread Chinni . Venkateswara 


One way  I can see is... use hidden html INPUT tags for your params and
use POST instead of GET.

Hope this helps.

Hi...

I'm trying to send a long uri to Tomcat 3.3 but it complains with error
code
414, (414 Request-URI Too Long). However Apache can handle the same url.

Is there a way to tell Tomcat to admit long uris / urls??
Something like this

 lynx -dump
localhost:8080/ABC/myservlet?request
=%3C%3Fxml+version%3D%221.0%22+encoding%3D%22UTF-8%22%3F%3E%0D%0A%3CGPPR%3E%0D%0A%09%3CFUNCION+type%3D%22UPDATE%22%3EcreateUser%3C%2FFUNCION%3E%0D%0A%09%3CAUTENTIFICATION%3E%0D%0A%09%09%3CCLIENT%3Ecesar%3C%2FCLIENT%3E%0D%0A%09%09%3CCLI_PASSWD%3Ecesar%3C%2FCLI_PASSWD%3E%0D%0A%09%09%3CUSER_LOGIN%3Ecesar%3C%2FUSER_LOGIN%3E%0D%0A%09%09%3CUSER_PASSWD%3Ecesar%3C%2FUSER_PASSWD%3E%0D%0A%09%3C%2FAUTENTIFICATION%3E%0D%0A%09%3CPARAMETERS+identype%3D%22MSISDN%22%3E%0D%0A%09%09%3CATTRIBUTE+name%3D%22USER%22+param%3D%22Y%22%3E%0D%0A%09%09%09%3COBJECT%3E%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%3CCLASS%3EUSER%3C%2FCLASS%3E%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%3CCONTENTS%3E%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%3CATTRIBUTE+name%3D%22TIMEOUTVALIDATE%22%3E%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%3CINT+val%3D%220%22%2F%3E%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%3C%2FATTRIBUTE%3E%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%3CATTRIBUTE+name%3D%22MASTERLOC%22%3E%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%3CCHAR+val%3D%22N%22%2F%3E%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%3C%2FATTRIBUTE%3E%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%3CATT!

Re: Maximum url length

2002-02-05 Thread karkoma 

El Mar 05 Feb 2002 20:12, escribiste:
 Hi,
 It's not a good idea. Try changing GET to POST. In case you don't know -
 request uris are often cached, logged, etc, so sending any data, especially
 passwords in them is a suicide or worse.


I compound the uri internally in my servlet, encode it and do a POST. In fact 
tomcat shows me the doPost.
The question is: I KNOW that I'm using method POST and I know the generated 
uri is very long. Have you ever try to send so long uris? How to treat them? 
Can tomcat be configured to handle longer uris?

Thank you again.
Alberto


 http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.2.1
 The HTTP protocol does not place any a priori limit on the length of a
 URI. Servers MUST be able to handle the URI of any resource they serve, and
 SHOULD be able to handle URIs of unbounded length if they provide GET-based
 forms that could generate such URIs. A server SHOULD return 414
 (Request-URI Too Long) status if a URI is longer than the server can handle
 (see section 10.4.15).

   Note: Servers ought to be cautious about depending on URI lengths
   above 255 bytes, because some older client or proxy
   implementations might not properly support these lengths.

 Greetings, deacon Marcus
