RE: Web Service that requires XML document in HTTP Header

[Nick Townsend <Nick.Townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Scott,

I've done some testing, and it looks like 32K will be fine for these
requests - for the moment. There is currently a practical limit of
60 travellers on a policy although this could be increased in the
future. Even after encoding, the maximum size of the XML will be
about 16-17K which leaves plenty of room for expansion.

I take your point about sending the header in "chunks". I might
include some code to check whether the new additional headers will
fit into the remaining buffer space and do an extra SenReq() if it
doesn't.

That will still leave the maximum size of the new "long" headers as
32K since that is the largest size field that the new exit point
procedure can pass back, unless I make it work in a radically
different way to the existing exit point. Since 32K will be fine for
us at the moment I'm not going to worry about it - hopefully no one
else will ever have to consume a service like this one!

Nick
