Large form data elements?

[Anon]

Have a real simple application:

Take this sample input:

<FORM ACTION=take_page.php METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=text NAME=page>
<TEXTAREA WRAP ROWS=20 COLS=50 NAME=content></TEXTAREA>
</FORM>

There's one problem - If I type more than a page or so of text (~ 2K) into textarea "content", It's like PHP crashes or something - I get NO INFORMATION BACK to the browser, and I get a message (in Netscape) about "the connection being reset by peer" or something like that. The program never gets into what I want to do with the info...

What's going on? How do I fix it?

Using RH 6.2, Apache 1.3.14, PHP 4.0.3p1. (The latest and greatest of everything...
(sigh))

With 4.0 RC1 I can handle forms with well over 100k submitted in them. I have seen a few older browsers that don't work right, so which one of those are you running?

I found the problem!

I'm using a squid proxy and it appears that it is not set up correctly, or there's a bug or something.

Thanks, though!
