HTTPUtils.PostString Maximum Size?

[stevel05]

I am trying to communicate across the cloud with a file conversion site that has an API that allows conversion of files embedded within an XML file.

I am trying to send this via HTTPUtils.PostString, Their support is telling me that the file arriving is truncated, providing a corrupt image and therefore failing conversion. I just wanted to check before I spend too long investigating this, if there is a string size limit for use with HTTP.PostString.

The String I am trying to send is about 40kb including a Base64 encoded image.

The XML string is built like this:

XML="<?xml version="&QUOTE&"1.0"&QUOTE&" encoding="&QUOTE&"utf-8"&QUOTE&" ?>"&CRLF
   XML=XML&"<queue>"&CRLF
   XML=XML&"  <apiKey>"&apiKey&"</apiKey>"&CRLF  'Private API Key
   XML=XML&"  <targetType>image</targetType>"&CRLF
   XML=XML&"  <targetMethod>convert-to-jpg</targetMethod>"&CRLF
   XML=XML&"  <testMode>true</testMode>"&CRLF
   
#Region Send URL   
   'either send source URL
   'XML=XML&"  <sourceUrl>http://www.stevelaming.co.uk/stevel05/images/icon72.png</sourceUrl>"&CRLF
#End Region

'#Region Embed File
   'Or embed a file ______________________________________________________
   
   Dim fileName,imageString As String
   Dim Image As Bitmap
   Dim out As OutputStream
   Dim fileData() As Byte
   Dim su As StringUtils
   
   fileName="testfile.png"
   imageString=" test encoded file goes here"
   XML=XML&"  <file>"&CRLF
   XML=XML&"    <fileName>"&fileName&"</fileName>"&CRLF
   XML=XML&"    <fileData>"&CRLF
   XML=XML&"      "&imageString&CRLF            'Image As string
   XML=XML&"    </fileData>"&CRLF
   XML=XML&"  </file>"&CRLF
   ' _____________________________________________________________________
'#End Region

   XML=XML&"</queue>"
   'Log("Xml "&XML)
   EditText1.text=XML
   URL="http://api.online-convert.com/queue-insert"
   HttpUtils.PostString("queue",URL,"queue="&XML)

There is no limit to PostString (other than the available memory which is much larger than 40kb).

Note that it is better to declare XML variable as a StringBuilder.

Thank Erel,

I'll do some digging.

Curious what you are converting? PNG to ????

Pretty much anything, just trying to see what's possible with Android over the cloud. Their web site is here.
