CGI Limitations with MicroFocus NetExpress?
|

| Can anyone point me to specs for MicroFocus's CGI support in
NetExpress?
I am finding a limitation of approximately 4K for ACCEPT verbs against
a CGI page with large textual input fields--not sure where the culprit
is, but I'm sure I should be able to extend that limitation.
I am running apache on Windows2000, and I am developing the
server-side code using NetExpress.
Thanks.

| Are you looking at all the other generated source files? As I recall
there's two other source files that gets generated when you first
generate a page in your project and complete it. Are you looking at
those? I remember pushing a lot of data around in NetExpress, so I'm
not really sure exactly what is going on in your case.
My first thought is that it has a default receipt value in one of
these other files that you are exceeding. Of course, there's other
possibilities, but if you want to ask any more questions, just reply.
Though I have several references here in hand, I don't know of any
online references or anything that I can point you to. Sorry.

I would assume that you are using POST method as most browsers have a
lower limit than this for GET method - eg IE is limited to total of
2083 in the URL string.
Check your apache configuration, for example for:
LimitRequestBody
LimitRequestFields

The other poster is right. Look at whether you are using GET, or POST
as a CGI exec method. There is a limitation on how many bytes can be
passed under GET method.
Look at your CPF file. The fields there must match your CPY file.

| Hi Dick,
Which version (and FixPack level) of Net Express are you running? There was
an issue regarding a 4K limitation of data handled by CGI ACCEPT and DISPLAY
statements in the base release of Net Express 3.1, which was corrected in
the Accept/Display CGI Syntax Fixpack (acc00n31.exe).
If you're running the base release of Net Express 3.1, I would strongly
recommend upgrading to the very latest fix level -- you can download these
from http://supportline.microfocus.com/ .

| All,
1) I am using POST, not GET, so I believe I am OK there;
2) apache reports the appropriate content_length after the POST, but
I will check the apache config;
3) The NetExpress 4K limitation sounds like it may be the cause. I
will also check that.
Thanks to all of you for your ideas.
