Need Help: Opening URL's through Command Line... thanks

[Guest]

Good day

I am opening an IE browser window from my application. This works fine with short URL's like "www.mysite.com" but not for longer URL's (250+ characters)...

Is it that IE can't do it? Or that my program can't pass a value that long?

Thanks. Any workarounds?

Some information that may help.

Maximum URL Length Is 2,083 Characters in Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer has a maximum uniform resource locator (URL) length of
2,083 characters, with a maximum path length of 2,048 characters. This limit
applies to both POST and GET request URLs.

URL Is Truncated If Longer Than 255 Characters for Plugins and ActiveX
Controls
Web addresses (URLs) that are longer than 255 characters are truncated
before being passed to a plug-in or ActiveX control, causing the plug-in or
ActiveX control not to gain access to the requested Resource.
