[fpc-pascal]UNCGI issues

[BigMatt19 at aol.com]

Hello,
   Thank you all for the quick responses.  The problem is this though:

   I am using the post method to get the contents of a <textarea> tag.  In the source code it says there is a limitation of the UNCGI unit in that it cannot pass params >255 chars.  I tried simply converting everything to ansistrings but then the results came back funny.  I think somewhere it relies on the s[0] element (which ansistrings don't support).

   Any more ideas?

I guess this is because (Turbo) Pascal Strings cannot be longer than 255
chars. So you should change the source of uncgi to use pchar or
ansistrings for all string manipulations. It is not enough to convert to
a pchar or ansistring at the end, because if anywhere you get a standard
string the result will be truncated to 255 chars.
