HTTP POST maximum data size?

[Kent Vanderwaal]

I have successfully deployed a J2EE servlet, developed under Tomcat, on a Websphere 4.0 server. I build a .war file using jar and build.xml, moved it over to the WAS 4.0 machine and installed it, it's fine, it works. Only problem is when we
POST, we send lots of data in the POST and it gets truncated.
We POST (a put method), the request has lots of data, it gets truncated. We POST (a get method), the response comes back with all data (from the database), no truncation.
Is there a size limit somewhere in the server's properties that I haven't found yet? Any ideas?

Found out that IBM HTTP Server is the culprit. If I go straight to Websphere through the port, it's not a problem.

Hi ,
Did anybody found the problem with HTTP POST size limit.We are getting the same problem,POST data is getting truncated. Is it helps if we use Apache instead of IHS ??? Any help appreciated ...

Are you trying to POST a FILE ?
Or just post some generic form data?
If you want to post a FILE to the server, your html should look like this:

<FORM ACTION="/servlet/MyServlet"<br /> ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"<br /> METHOD=POST>
What is your name? <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=submitter>

What file are you sending? <INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME=secretDocument>

<input type=hidden name="serviceClass" value="FoobarServiceMgr">
<input type="submit" value=Submit>

</FORM>

Try applying fixpac 4.0.3. That should solve the problem.
