Sorry if this is duplicate,I would think it would be but couldn't find anything.
I have a flex application that I am posting data back to a php/mysql server via IE. I haven't run into any problems yet, but knowing this ahead of time might save me a bunch of frustration and work. Is there a size limit to posting data via http?
This article says no: http://www.netlobo.com/ie_form_submit.html
This discussion says yes: http://bytes.com/topic/php/answers/538226-what-maximum-limit-using-post-method
And it all goes back and forth what I'm able to find online. So please limit answers to personally tested/verified numbers.
I am wanting to post back an XML string that can be quite large (say up to 5mb).
If it makes any difference: browser will always be IE (our product requires it), post is coming from and httpService in flex, web server is php, DB is mySql.

The POST method itself does not have any limit on the size of data.
Most web servers have a limit of 8192 bytes (8 KB), which is usually configurable somewhere in the server configuration.
You can Use HTTPRequest and HTTPResponse class method getBodyAsBlob(); to get the response body in blob and then you can check the size. httpRequest. getBodyAsBlob(). size(); httpResponse.
The response limit is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 bytes (2 ** 64).
It depends on a server configuration. If you're working with PHP under Linux or similar, you can control it using .htaccess configuration file, like so:
#set max post size php_value post_max_size 20M And, yes, I can personally attest to the fact that this works :)
If you're using IIS, I don't have any idea how you'd set this particular value.
