Restriction with more then 900 chars #9

Closed TKlement closed 9 years ago

Hi! This is a nice tool when I try to export data with less then 900 chars. But when I try to export a table with more then 900 chars in it there is no export in IE10. The URL in the address bar Ends after 900 chars.

Thanks for your kind words. While the HTTP/1.1 RFC (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html) doesn't place a maximum on the length of URL's, almost every other piece of HTTP/1.1 speaking software does. I am unaware of how (if it is at all possible) to sidestep a browser limitation of this nature. Maybe with some MIME type jiggery-pokery? I haven't ever used IE10, so I can't verify what you are seeing, but I am able to export datasets with more than 900 characters in GNU Icecat. My suggestion would be to use a different browser. If that isn't possible, I would find another way to create a CSV file (maybe on the server) and download it that way. Sorry.
