I am seeing that the limit for characters returned from a HTTPResponse is now 512 instead of 2049. Anybody have any insight into this. It is very frustrating.

You probably should post this into the Linden Answers forum.

I really don't understand why they do this sort of rubbish. Don't they realise that by decreasing the data returned per call just means we're gonna have to make multiple calls to get the data we want? Surely multiple llHTTPRequests is gonna be more detrimental to performance than one call that returns a larger packet.

SL will never become the next web if LL keeps insisting on putting severe restrictions like this on anything that's really useful for external communication. I'd REALLY like to hear some sensible explanation of why this was done.

Particularly since the webserver is going to return the entire page anyways. All the other data is just lost in limbo, wasted.

From what i am understanding it seems like more of a bug than a deliberate restriction. I submitted a bug report at the request of one of the lindens
