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.

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