[OpenLayers-Users] SLD_BODY too many characters

[Andreas Hocevar]

Hi,

a few questions:

Which browser were you trying? The only browser that requires 
Layer.WMS.Post is Internet Explorer. Other browsers can handle long URLs 
in Get requests fine. Layer.WMS.Post uses Get by default in Opera and 
Firefox, unless you configure it with the usupportedBrowsers option set 
to []:

var layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS.Post("name", "url", {
    sld_body: "your sld body here"
}, {
    unsupportedBrowsers: []
});

If it works after that change, then your server cannot handle long URLs. 
If it still does not work, then something is wrong with your SLD. Did 
you try if it validates? Or if it works when using SLD with a url 
reference instead of SLD_BODY?

Regards,
Andreas.
