com.HTTPRequest.setMaximumResponseLength

Defines the maximum size in Kbytes of a response.

Syntax

setMaximumResponseLength(
   length INTEGER )
  1. length defines the maximum size in Kbytes.

Usage

The setMaximumResponseLength() method sets the maximum authorized size in Kbytes of the whole response (including headers, body and all control characters), before a break.

The value of -1 means no limit.
Note: Setting the maximum response length is ignored for synchronous requests in a Genero Mobile for iOS (GMI) app. The iOS HTTP stack does not allow you to set a maximum response length when doing synchronous requests.

In case of error, the method throws an exception and sets the STATUS variable. Depending on the error, a human-readable description of the problem is available in the SQLCA.SQLERRM register. See Error handling in GWS calls (STATUS).
