RemoteScripter Script Parameter Max Length

Featured Replies

  • Newbies

I've been experimenting with RemoteScripter and am finding that the maximum size for a script parameter to pass is 1,438 characters. It looks like the ScriptResult which is returned by the RemoteScripterSetResult function can be quite a bit longer.

Is there any way to increase the maximum length of the script Parameter?

Can you tell me how you are making the call to RemoteScripter (RemoteScripterTrigger function call, browser request, server scripting)? Depending on the method here, the client could have impose some limitation on the send request. If you are currently sending a Get request, changing to a Post may solve the issue as I don't believe the plugin does not limit the size of this type request. The only limit this way should be the amount of memory available to the plugin (which can be increased if necessary).

Hi Brent,

Thanks for your reply. I'm using FileMaker-to-Filemaker via plug-in connection passing data via script parameter. I'm guessing that internally the plug-in is using a GET request, is there a way to configure it to use a POST request instead?

Little more info, 1,438 characters is the limit regardless of which computer executes it (new Windows 7 box, ancient Windows XP laptop), Up to1,438 characters transfer very quuickly, 1,439 characters stop the server from listening on the port until the listener is stopped and restarted.

I've been able to confirm a size limitation in the plugin. Can you contact me directly by email so I can let you know how/when we can proceed with this?
