I don't remember you mentioning the ACGI in your posts of a month ago, or maybe I didn't see it. But yes, there is a MacOS AppleEvents 32K data limit on everything that passes between an ACGI and the server (WebStar) on classic Mac. What baffles me is that it worked for some browsers. Could these browsers have been sending additional data that put the overall data over that limit? All in all, I've had all kinds of mysterious problems on classic Mac with ACGIs and I avoid using them when there is a plugin alternative.Mike------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
