We are posting XML messages from a COBOL program on the HP3000 to a web URL
(java client) using a custom socket.

We have pretty big messages to be loaded and we found out that orders with
a length bigger than 29900 characters do not get read properly by the
  java listener program which failed with :

  java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException

If we push the same order XML message thru a standard IE page, the listener
read the whole message by buckets of  8760 and the order is posted in full.

If we post the same XML message form the COBOL program using the listener
tries to read the whole message at once and got problems managing the
message size.see below

We ran a network trace on both and what we found out is that the difference
between the 2 messages is that the one sent from the HP3000 is not
transfered under the HTTP protocol ( everything else is the same, port, IP )


ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATE !!!!!!

Thanks a lot
