Not the OP, but I put it in on /one/ of my solr custom handlers that acts as a proxy to itself (ie the server its part of). It basically rewrites the incoming query (usually short 50-250 chars at most) to a set of very long queries and passes them in parallel to the server, gathers up the results and returns a combo response.
The logging is not an issue for me since the handler logs the expanded query before sending it off, but the caching is. Thank you for pointing it out. I was doing it because I was running afoul of the limit on the URL size (and the max boolean clauses as well, but I reset the max for that). But I just realized that we can probably reset that limit as well as this page shows: http://serverfault.com/questions/56691/whats-the-maximum-url-length-in-tomcat So perhaps if the URL length is the reason for the OP's question, increasing it may be a better option than using POST? -sujit On Fri, 2011-10-14 at 09:30 -0700, Walter Underwood wrote: > Why do you want to use POST?
