Hi All,

Is there a limit to the length of an URL using HttpOpenRequest() ? If
the size of URL is  smaller than ~2kb it works , but once the URL
get's too large, HttpOpenRequest(...) fails with error 122.
But when I execute the same url from browser(IE/netscape) ,it works.
Is it a known limitation?Had anyone experienced this issue.
Could anyone please provide me some pointers.

Thanks in advance ,
Bhuma
