Err: Couldn't find database name in POST arguments

I have read this thread and I wonder if anyone ever found a solution to the problem.

I have found out that you don't need more than one form field, and it's sufficient with one field in the FM db, to generate the error. If the amount of characters in the one form field exceeds aprox. 3000, Web companion sends this error message:

'Unexpected Error

An unexpected error occurred: Couldn't find database name in POST arguments.

Click the Back button on your browser to return to the previous page'

You can have 1000 form fields on a single page, as long as the total amount of characters sent to WC don't exceed 3000.

Filemaker support in Norway have tried to solve it, but they didn't come up with any good solution. I have learned to live with it, simply by using an additional form page to add more text.

Anyone?
