Hello,I’m developing a Domino web application and I need to gradually pass more and more data from one form to another. You probably know that a URL cannot be longer than 255 characters, so I cannot rely on passing data around through the Query_String predefined field.
Is it possible to pass data around through the web form “POST” method? If form “A” posts data to form “B”, how do I access the posted data in form “B”?

You can only do a POST to an agent. In the agent you can use the needed CGI variables. I have found this area of Domino to be very scant on documentation. I wrote an agent that can do this…email me and I will dig it up and send it to you.

WHAT??? How do you think Domino forms work normally? They receive POST data, with the Request_Content parsed into the fields. Domino forms are THE natural “CGI script” for data POSTed to a Domino server. Data POSTed to a Form design element with a form action querystring of ?CreateDocument or ?OpenForm&Seq=1 will either create a saved Notes document with the POSTed data and fire the $$Return on the named form, or add the field values to the named form and return that form to the browser, respectively.

What about using inheritance, simply inherit the values from one form to another
or
save the first form and get the values in a webqueryopenagent in the second form

On my server document:

Maximum URL length:
