[CLOSED] How to POST
Hello All,

I am having a problem where a user is selecting many values for a single parameter via a drop down list. None of the dashboard panels show up with anything, just a blank html page.

If I run the same report, but only use a subset of those selections, then no error shows up and it behaves like normal. So I suspect I hit some kind of character/byte limit with the parameters. And this page seems to support that. According to that page I have to use a POST, but I don't know how or where to do that.

Can someone point me in the right direction here?

Thank you folks!

We have the same problem, I've asked for an NFR to have the option to submit the reports via POST instead of GET, I think they are working on it.

We ended up either writing our own submit or adding some JS to check for the length and pop up an alert.

uuuh... NFR? What's that?

Nevermind... Non-Functional Requirement. So I'm guessing this means right now there is no way to use POST?
