XMLHttpRequest Request URI too large (414)

Well I hoped everything would work fine finally. But of course it doesn't. The new problem is the following message:

Request-URI Too Large

The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this server.

My fear is that I have to find another method of transmitting the data or is a solution possible?

Code of 开发者_Python百科XHR function:

function makeXHR(recordData)
{
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
 {
 xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();

 }
 else
 {// code for IE6, IE5
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
 }

 var rowData = "?q=" + recordData;

 xmlhttp.open("POST", "insertRowData.php"+rowData, true);
 xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); 
 xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Length",rowData.length); 
 xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");

 xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() 
 {
  if(xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) 
  {
   alert("Records were saved successfully!");
  }
 }

 xmlhttp.send(null);

}

You should POST rowData in the request body via the send method. So, instead of posting to "insertRowData.php" + rowData, POST to "insertRowData.php" and pass the data in rowData to send.

I suspect that your rowData is a query string with the question mark. If that is the case, then the message body is simply rowData without the prepended question mark.

EDIT: Something like this should work:

var body = "q=" + encodeURIComponent(recordData);
xmlhttp.open("POST", "insertRowData.php", true);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = // ...
xmlhttp.send(body);
