Re: Length validation

If you're using GET as method, the data sent is (or should be) maximum 2K in size. Why choose GET over POST is left in the middle, but it's just a thought.

I always use POST when it makes a change and shouldn't be cached. I always use GET when it is just a data retrieval, makes no change on the server, and should be cacheable by the user. Sure, some misconfigured proxy can screw things up, but this is the main reason there are two different submission methods, isn't it? Chris	[reply]
