I've made simple HTML form to post data.
The data is been stored in <input> elements under the "value" attribute.
It all works fine when I post simple strings (eg Hello World, etc).
However some strings do not post - the page just looks like it's loading then after ~30 seconds tells me the requested page doesn't exist (when it does...)
Here is an example string that doesn't work:
http%3A%2F%2Fphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net %2Fhphotos-ak-snc3%2Fhs395.snc3%2F xxx _xxx_xxx_xxx_xxx_ n.jpg%2Chttp%3A%2F%2F photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net%2Fh photos-ak-snc3%2Fhs338.snc3%2F xxx_xxx_xxx_xxx_xxx_n.jpg
(minus the spaces which are required to stop YAns cutting the string)
Are there charactors in there that cannot be sent to the server in this way?
(It's not a problem with the HTML I've tried artificially posting the same data to the server and it still doesn't work.)
Any advice much appreciated,
Colin
Nope, definately using POST
Using:
<form method="post" action="process.php">
<input name="data" value="Strings like the encoded url in the question"/>
</form>
