REST API. Getting error posting new message

Hi PerBonomi 

Maybe you should not put the message body as part of the URL, but as part of HTTP POST? just like format submission.

You're probably hitting a limit on the URL parameter length.

Try adding the message body as data to the post request, like this:

$.post(
   "/restapi/vc/boards/id/genericboard/messages/post",
   {
   "message.body": vBody,
   "message.subject": subject,
   "message.author": "/users/login/Per"
   } );

Hey Per

I'm afraid that in this case our documentation is incorrect.

Unfortunately, the API isn't designed to carry that much content over the URL.  According to best practices, POST parameters ought to be passed via the HTTP POST body using using 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' or 'multipart/form-data' encoding, which would require extra work on your part.

As it stands there's no way for us to increase the limit.  Apologies for being misled on this.  I'll make a request for our docs to be updated.

Thanks for all your responses, it works brilliantly with http post :)
