As far as I know there is nothing in either the HTML spec, CGI spec or the ASP spec that prevents you from passing around arbitrarily large chunks of data. What you're are running against are limitations of particular implementations. For example, if I'm not mistaken, on Macs and Windows the size of a standard text field is limited to 32K (this info may be outdated :), which is more than enough in 95% of the cases. You may also run into size limitations on the server side. But it's less likely. You need to rethink your design. If you require something so highly unusual, maybe a Java applet is in order.
