Url length limit problems

I'm using dojo.xhrGet to send data back to the server and I'm
also using Adobe Air. The URL length I am sending is around 3000 to
4000 characters long. Any thoughts?

Can you please submit a bug and we'll investigate?

Web Service URL length limits, LV2013 vs LV2012

(* CROSS POST: http://lavag.org/topic/18435-web-service-url-length-limits-lv2013-vs-lv2012/ *)
(* Please reply in this forum. I have marked the other thread to put replies here. *)
Has anyone noticed a reduction to the limit on URL length for Web Services between LV versions 2012 and 2013?
Under LV2012, a RESTful web service appears to accept URL with lengths at least as long as 4096 characters. With LV2013, the max URL length appears to be 511 characters for both RESTful and Project Item web services. Unfortunately for me the project I just converted trips over this issue. My goal with posting this query to here is to improve my understanding of this limitation before I decide how best to modify my code. Certainly using POST rather than GET with a long URL is an option, but again, I'm looking to understand the change in limitation before I choose a solution.
To illustrate I have attached three mostly identical projects which demonstrate the issue. In each case the project contains a webservice consisting of a single VI, "ComputeLength", which takes a String as an input parameter and which outputs the length of the string. The three projects are as follows.
1. LV2012 RESTful web service.
2. LV2013 RESTful web service.
3. LV2013 Project item web service.
The web service contains a single VI. For the RESTful examples, the web service is started by selecting Deploy from the Build specification right click menu. For the Project Item example, the web service is started by selecting Start from the MyComputer/WebService right click menu. The use of this example is demonstrated with the following URL:
(note that the port is 8080 for the two RESTful examples and is 8001 for the Project item web service if used in Debug mode, which is the default for the above instruction.)
http://localhost:8080/webservice/computelength?string=1234567890
And the output looks like this.
<Response>
<Terminal>
<Name>StringLength</Name>
<Value>10</Value>
</Terminal>
</Response>
To see the issue, extend the string parameter such that the URL contains more than 511 characters beyond the port number. For example something like this, http://localhost:8080/webservice/computelength?string=1234567890123456789012345678901234567890....(keep repeating)
For the LV2012 example the string parameter may be at least as long as 4000 characters, which I've demonstrated using Chrome as my browser. For both of the LV2013 examples the URL is limited to 511 characters after the localhost and the port number.
Anyone know whether this is a bug or this is an intentional design change? How about whether the URL length limit is configurable?
I am also consulting NI tech support and will report back their response.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Martin

Solution found. Apparently starting in LV 2013, there is a default limit of 512 to the URL length. The default limit may be overridden as described below.

This is Brian in Applications Engineering from National Instruments. I am following up regarding the 511 character limit in your Web Service HTTP request following the port number. After some research I've figured out that the issue is related to a default web server setting called "LimitUri," which limits the maximum length of a URL. The default setting is 512 characters which is why we are seeing this issue.
There are multiple ways of changing the URL length limit depending on how you are using your web service. If you are publishing the web service using the Application Web Server then modify "C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Shared\NI WebServer\NIWebAppServer.conf" and add "LimitUri 4096" to the end of the file without the quotes.
If you are running the Debug Web Server by just clicking start on the web service then modify "C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2013\resource\webserver\niwsdebugserver.conf" and add "LimitUri 4096" to the end of the file without the quotes.

Exceeding SharePoint URL Length

This isn't necessarily a problem. We have just deployed SharePoint at my company and I had a question regarding the URL Length and what happens once we exceed the limitations.
1. Once we have reached that URL character limit, do we still have the ability to create sites and sub sites?
2. Will we have the ability to create folders/lists with these sites?

The total length includes the name of the server, the site, the folders, and the document.
"The specified file or folder name is too long. The URL path for all files and folders must be 260 characters or less (and no more than 128 characters for any single file or folder name in the URL). Please type a shorter file or folder name."
So, no. You cannot create folders or lists or upload documents that exceed these limits.
The official numbers are:
folder name - not more than 128 characters (123? see below)
file name - not more than 128 characters (128? see below)
total path to file - not more than 260 characters
And be aware that space and other special characters typically require three characters each. Ie. Test File is Test%20File
Built-in limits:
The page used to create folders and has a text box with a limit of 123 characters (go figure!).
The page used to edit properties for files has a text box with a limit of 123 characters, but that makes sense as Office 2007 has four character file extensions, so 123 + a period + 4 = 128.

Microsoft Websites using non-standard URL lengths to libraries causing firewall exceptions which prevent service usability

Hi,
Myself and
other Microsoft customers have been experiencing a problem behind our corporate firewalls with accessing Microsoft services (Microsoft.com, most Microsoft Support pages, Microsoft Downloads, etc.). I previously had the same problem early August with SharePoint
Online but that appears to have been corrected (at least for now).
The symptom:
Microsoft Webpage contents load but then the whole pages appear blank (in Chrome and IE 11). The body style is set to "visibility:hidden;".
The cause:
Many Microsoft websites use scripts/libraries from http://ots.optimize.webtrends.com and these particular URL's are extremely long and in a bizarre way. In this instance, it's sending Chrome and IE 11 webclients to a URL that is 3472 characters in length (that's
over 3.3KB for just the URL) and the URL retrieves a JS function call that's 157 characters in length.
Our corporate firewall is blocking HTTP GET requests to URL lengths greater than a particular length (to prevent infected web-clients from exploiting external web servers). I believe it's set to 2048 characters by default.
The workaround:
Set useragent string to IE 10 or lower. It doesn't serve pages that include such long URL lengths in these cases.
Modify the style of the page in developer mode and set visibility:visible on the body. Works in IE or Chrome then.
Convince IT to change our corporate firewall to ignore URL Path Length restrictions
I'm convinced that this is a bug from Microsoft for many reasons:
Microsoft claims IE's maximum URL length is 2083 characters. See
here.
It's arguably poor form to be requiring kilobytes of data just to locate a resource(such as a .js file)
It's wasting Microsoft's bandwidth. Using 3472 bytes to retrieve 157 bytes that run a function (in another .js file from MS) that sets the body style.
It's preventing Microsoft customers that are using IE11 on Windows 7/8, who are behind firewalls that check URL Path Length's, from using Microsoft services.
It does appear to serve content that is unique to the request but there's got to be a better way to accomplish whatever it is MS is actually trying to accomplish with the contents:
WTOptimize.fireEvent(new WTEvent(WTEvent.CONTROL_PART, WTEvent.STATUS_SUCCESS, {control:"WT3VtgdmLPVOceeXKd8U15PFuYs7rn2UxwpN_67li21nuTEqahNZFhhiLz-KXk~"}));
Is it trying to display the content on modern browsers only after the page has successfully loaded? I'm not sure, but that's what it's looking like to me.

Hi,
I do need more time to make test for your problem. Please be patient.
Thanks for your understanding.

ExternalInterface.call String parameter length limit???

Is there a String length limit to the amount of chars a
String can contain when passed as a parameter to
ExternalInterface.call()?
Also, are there any chars that ExternalInterface.call()
cannot serialize in a string?? Like \n, \t ...etc.
The livedocs don't answer these questions.

thanks for your reply but i just figured it out.
ExternalInterface.call("jsFunc", longString);
There is seems to be no char limit that i came across cause i
was able to shove 2K in there.
The problem is the newlines in the string, they must get
messed up during serialization. Just make sure you clean the string
of newlines like so:
longString = longString.split("\r").join("
").split("\n").join(" ");
ExternalInterface.call("jsFunc", longString);
works fine......

Windows 8.1 account limit problem when downloading from store

windows 8.1 account limit problem when downloading from store
I have 250 windows 8.1 tablets.
I figured since you can use the same account on 81 devices id create 4 accounts.
I need to download more than 25 free apps from the store
on each tablet. Putting the same account don't work. (comes up with an error after putting on to many devices that you cant use this account now).
Whats the best way to do this ? and what if I need to download a paid app ?
Thank You.

Hi,
As far as I know, One Microsoft Account may bound at most five Trusted computers. There is no way to break this limitation.

10g - report object - filename property length limit

I am posting this in the hopes that I can stop someone from beating their head against their desk for a couple of days like I did.
In 10g forms (9.0.4.2.0), for a report object, there seems to be a limit to the length of the filename property - 79 characters. When it hits 80 characters, at runtime I get a "FRM-92101: There was a failure in the Forms Server during startup. This could happen due to invalid configuration"... error. Clicking the details button will show expanded info indicating a java exception "oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException: Forms session <x> aborted: unable to communicate with runtime process".
It would be nice if help for the filename property could include the length limit.
Gary

Thanks for your attention.
Gary
P.S. Thanks also for your write-up and javabean code on your blog regarding how to open a report in a new window with titlebar, etc disabled. Works like a charm.

Cable length limit on the so-called "Internet" port?

Is there a limit on the cable-length when connecting an Ethernet cable to the so-called "Internet" port on a WRT54G router?
I assume this is a standard 10/100 Ethernet port, since I am connecting this to the Ethernet port of my DSL modem. Since the Ethernet standard defines a maximum cable-length of 100 meters when connecting any 2 Ethernet devices, I should be able to use a cable up to this length when connecting 2 Linksys routers together.
Here is what I want to do:
DSL Modem-->Linksys Router-->Linksys Router
My first Linksys WRT54G router is connected to a DSL modem. I want to put a second WRT54G Linksys router in a different building, and connect them with a 100 meter Ethernet cable, connecting the remote end to the second router´s "Internet" port, and the other end into one of the first router´s available 10/100 ports. This will allow me to create 2 wireless signals, with 2 different DHCP scopes and 2 different SSID´s, basically allowing me to extend the range, with the 2 routers connected with a physical wire.
This works when connecting them with a short, 2 meter cable. Using a short cable I am able to associate with the second router´s SSID, get a DHCP address from that router, and then turn on RIP on both routers and have traffic route from the second router to the first one and out to the Internet successfully.
However, when I replace the short cable with a longer one, either 80 meters or 100 meters, I don´t get a link light between the routers. I do get a link light if I connect to a 10/100 port on both routers, but RIP doesn´t seem to want to exchange routes on the second router out anything other than the "Internet" port. Moving the cable back to the "Internet" port fails to produce a link light (unless I use a really short cable, which does produce a link light).
So my question is this: from a Layer-1 perspective, is the "Internet" port an Ethernet port that enforces a cable-length limit that doesn`t follow the standard 100 meter rule?
--- Christer

well..the internet port is definitely an ethernet port...however, it is not supposed to limit the cable length .. try a 50 m cable and check whether it works...because my friend had a similar kind of an issue and it worked fine with a 50 m ethernet cable ..

Limit to URL-length in Symbian^3 email app?

Okay, I have an iPhone 3GS and my new Nokia N8. I'm looking at the same e-mail message on both devices. In the e-mail is a long Google Maps URL. On my iPhone the URL is clickable and directs directly to Google Maps. On my Nokia N8 the URL is not even clickable. Worse, I also can't copy & paste the URL to open in the browser. In other e-mail messages on my Nokia N8 I can open (shorter) URL's. What's going on? Is it the length of the URL which is causing problems?
Clicking on a Google Maps URL is an important functionality.

Hi Karol,
I tried with the simplest google example with link
https://www.google.se/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=baMhVK3AA6er8wfU-4DoAQ
In Design Studio, the object OPENWINDOWPOST_1 is pulled into the application and the property Url To Open By Post of OPENWINDOWPOST_1 is defined exactly as "https://www.google.se/"
The image property OnClick code are as below:
OPENWINDOWPOST_1.removeAllParameters();
OPENWINDOWPOST_1.addParameter("gfe_rd", "cr");
OPENWINDOWPOST_1.addParameter("ei", "baMhVK3AA6er8wfU-4DoAQ");
OPENWINDOWPOST_1.triggerExecution();
Save the application and run.
In runtime, I clicked on that image and nothing happened. I tested in Internet Explorer as well as Firefox. I have checked that both browsers have no pop up blockers setting.
The APPLICATION.openNewWindow("https://....) code was working when I tested before locally. I had no problem to fire out a BEx report, the only problem in Internet Explorer was that those last 4 filters could not be captured due to the max limit in URL in IE. If I use Firefox as or Opera as default, this problem does not exist since the limits in both cases are much higher. However, we still need this solution to work in IE as most users are using IE, so it will be great if your solution works.
Thank you for your feedback.
Best regards,
Zabrina

Line length limit

Hi,
I'm having a problem with a large group (about 2500 members). I first thougt this is a Directory Server Problem, but the Server Log is identical for small and large groups and does not show any problems. Additionally even if i put the group (with all members) into /etc/group, I still cant see the group!
When using vi to edit /etc/group it sais: line too long.
I figured out this to be a problem with the maximum line length defined in /usr/include/limits.h (LINE_MAX). The value set here is 2048, but my line is about 13K.
Could my explanation be correct? If so, how can I change the line limit to a bigger value?
thanks,
David

Hi Martin,
I might not have explaned enough the issue. I dont want to edit the file with vi, this was just what I experienced on the side. My real problem is, that Solaris doesnt know this group, even though it is in /etc/group!
id just shows the gid number, but not the group name:
bash-2.05$ id
uid=21345(ab123) gid=10000
bash-2.05$ groups
10000
getent doesnt know the group too:
bash-2.05$ getent group gp_everyone
[No output]
And this is constrained by the Solaris system as I think. Because of the limited line length. Do you know how to reconfigure Solaris 9 and 10 for a longer line length?
big thanks

IPod 5G Movie Length Limit?

Greetings,
I had earlier ripped The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (extended edition) onto my iPod 5G as two separate MP4 files (since it came on two DVDs).
However, I didn't like having one movie broken up as two files. So I converted the ripped ISOs to two MPEGs, and used MPEG Video Wizard to merge them together (I used this because I wanted the ending of the audio track of "Part1" to flow into the beginning of "Part2" - making a seamless transition).
The resulting 4h23m06s MPEG2 w/2-chan AC3 video is 9.15GB in size.
I used Videora iPod Converter to convert the movie into an H.264 320x144 768kbps widescreen video (cropped 60 pixels from the top and bottom of the original MPG - creating no black borders and maintaining the aspect ratio) with 128kbps 44KHz audio. Since it's only going to be viewed on the iPod, I wanted to keep the file size down and keep the good quality.
Now, I did a few tests. I first converted the original merged MPG file into a 3-minute sample, then loaded it up in iTunes. I went through without a problem. The video synched to the iPod with no problem.
Then I imported the full 4+ hour H.264 movie into iTunes. No problem there. But when I tried to sync it to the iPod, it got rejected ("iPod doesn't support...." yadda yadda).
So, not giving up, I made a 1h58m sample from the original merged MPG file, and converted that to an H.264 video (using the same Videora profile as before - it never changed). That converted file imported into iTunes and synched to the iPod with no problems.
All three videos were created with the same Videora profile, and all play in Quicktime and iTunes. Only the full-length movie will not sync to the iPod. I can only conclude that the iPod does not like videos after a certain length.
Also, I can't think that the file size is a problem. The 3-minute sample is 20MB, the 2-hour sample is 750MB, and the full-length movie is 1.7GB (not bad for a 4+ hour movie). I did a manual check, and the full movie's video bitrate is not quite 768kpbs.
Has anyone else seen this? Any advice? I have a beautifully edited and merged movie (that I spent some time to make perfect). And now the iPod won't love it appropriately. How rude of it to reject a movie that won 11 Oscars!
Cheers,

This "long clip-short clip" problem is actually quite common and depends on both the content of your movie and the particular software used to encode it. Some applications use a "loose" encoding approach while others uses a "tight" one. Basically we are talking about how quickly the encoder responds to changes in the movie content and how well it modifies encoding to adjust for these changes. The longer a movie is, the more likely that sooner or later it will contain segments (dark scenes, rapid action on a compex background, etc.) the will cause your "peak transient" data rate to climb above the maximum allowed by the iPod. Clipping a segment to see if it will load on the iPod is only helpful if you can locate actual segmet causing the problem.
There are basically two strategies (three if you include changing encoders) you can apply to correct the situation. One is to switch from a multipass mode to a single pass and more or less keep the current data rate you are using. The single pass option in most allplications tends to "clip" these transient peaks meaning you do lose a bit of quality during those scenes. (I.e., you are trading a variable data rate for a more fixed one which has variable quality). The other strategy is to keep the multipass mode, but lower your target data rate. In this case, you are keeping a constant quality strategy but lowering the overall average data rate in the hope that this will provide enough "headroom" for your movie so it will not "peak" above the iPod's limit and will, thus, load/sync properly.
