</div></div>The problem here is _not_ the body of the method, but rather the requested URL.<br>
<br>
Can you give us the value of 'self locationWithTrailingSlash' for that method?<br>
<br>
-=-=-<br>
Never mind, the problem is that this is a GET request that serializes the WHOLE definition into the URL.<br>
<br>
It would be better to make that a POST and encode 'action' and 'mc-defintion' in the POST's body<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>+1</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
