Web Client deep link more than 2,083 characters

Classic Servoy
1

In a test solution my deep link fails when the total length of the url exceeds 2,083 characters (using ie8). I am trying to pass parameters that exceed this limit. Is there a way to get beyond this get limit? Can a deep link be sent as a post?

get can only b 2K thats the spec
so you have to do a post, i think that should also work fine. How do you get a deeplink that is that big!

You should just generate a UUID and use that in the URL, and save it in a record. Then in the URL lookup the uuid passed in to get the rest of the input you need (instead of passing in everything in the URL)

In this test solution we have been experimenting with allowing users of a prior FileMaker solution upload their form data to our online webclient solution using a deep link. It was working very well until we hit the 2k limit. The trouble is that some of the forms contain a lot of data. What would a deep link post equivalent look like?

I do not understand what you are suggesting. In our particular situation we need to move form data from a local computer up to our online web client solution.

how do you now get that GET url?
is that a form as an html form? can’t you just tell it to POST?

We get the GET using a Servoy deep link and passing the data as arguments in that deep link.

Is sending it as a POST just a matter of adding method=“post” or is there something else that is needed to make a Servoy deep link submit as a POST instead of a GET?

no if it is a post or get is inside the http protocol itself, its not an argument or something
So this a browser will generate for you, or for example a http plugin can do that for you

So what is the app that generates that url? Is that a servoy app? The you can use the http plugin, if not you really should look around how you can do a post within that app.

Okay. It is coming from another app, so we will look into it. Thank you for the information Johan.

Hi all,
The web client link is not working. In this toolbar on forms seems to misbehave in web client. The parent form get open but not able to open the child forms. How I can check this? and make web client work fine.

thanks
