Hi,

   I am attempting to call a web service using LoadfromURL() and when I have 
a long calling STRING, it is truncked and web service call fail.

   In this case, I am passing a file decoded as a hexadecimal string on call 
parameter.

   Any people knows the limit of web service call string ?

   Thanks,
   Osvaldo L Aoki

This is a very uncommon way of uploading files.

Limits might vary from web service to web service... so probably you will
have to ask the person/company that runs that web service.

Unfortunately, you don't give us any details (such as URL or purpose of the
web service or code snippets of what you are doing in your code).

Hi Thomas,

  Now a discover it is not truncked, but characters "+" inside decoded 
string is not arriving in destination. Is it a reserved character ?

  I am just using tobase64() function to convert a binnary image file to 
string decode file.

  Thanks,

  Osvaldo.

Yes, "+" in the URL is a reserved character. You need to use URL encoding 
functions like these provided in the Xb2.NET library:

xbEscape
xbUnEscape
xbURI class

Also, I would not recommend using the HTTP GET method to send large amount 
of data to server in the HTTP header. You should instead use the POST 
method and include the data in the HTTP body.

Yes - you should encode it: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp

But as Boris wrote, dont use GET, use POST instead.

Also I would like to recommend using Boris XB2.NET library instead of
LoadFromUrl... you have much more control and loads of helper functions.
