Limit of URL GET request

[bartłomiej_wójc]

We are using heavily omniture for tracking trafic on sites. There are many variables and properties in use. Now we have problem because of limit for GET request (for example IE is not supporting long URLs >2K/4K). If URL generated by function s.t() is too long then such requestes are not tracked at all! This case happend very often for Japanese pages where we need to encode in URL some Japanise texts from variables.

What is the solution for this problem? Do you have fix for that? For instance function s.t() could split information from variables into few requests (few images) if the URL is longer than 2K?

Hi Bartlemiej,

If you update you H code to the most recent version, the request will always be send (in the H22.1 release this functionality was added). If you would have a longer request, it will be cut after 2K. Therefore you should always make sure that you know which requests are bigger than 2K. You could use Qmon to monitor the request size for 100% of your website traffic.

Cheers,

Also, you can use dynamic variables. http://microsite.omniture.com/t2/help/en_US/reference/#Dynamic_Variables
