I have a VFP 7 web app running on NT4 (yes NT4) using the FoxISAPI dll. Is
there a limit to the amount of data FoxISAPI can return to the VFP server.
I have a large page in which users fill in data and I am not getting back
the entire set of form data, it is always cut off at 49152 characters of
around 98000. Using Fiddler I can see that the entire form is being posted
back to the server.

I replaced the FoxISAPI dll which I believe came with VFP6 to the lasted one
for VFP 7 and I still get the data cutoff.

If anyone has a workaround for this it would be appreciated. I have the
source for FoxISAPI dll but I do not know C.

Thanks
Tom

I agree it is a large page, Its for RMA requests the user enters how many
parts they want to return I then load a page with 1 line of input boxes for
the qty they want to return. So if they return a qty of 10 they get ten
lines, if they return 100 they get 100 lines. They need to enter the parts
SN's and a reason for the return.

FWIW I put together a ASP.Net page and loaded the data into a multiline
input box and I was able to send over 1,000,000 characters back to the
server and it handled it fine. So yes I do expect the data to come back to
the server the way it should.

Thanks
