System.UriFormatException: Uri is longer than the maximum 32766 characters

[simondebaecke]

Hi !

First, thank you for keeping this library up-to-date ! ;)

My problem is that I have a WebService that requires to send image as base64 string and obviously, sometimes it is longer than this character limit on Uri when "EscapeDataString" method is called (as < 4.5 .NET but the new limit for 4.5 .NET is in excess of 65,500 characters btw). ;)

Could you merge this issue restsharp/RestSharp@54a4d15 to resolve it ? And be sure to use "UrlEncode" method over "EscapeDataString" directly ?

I'd love to help but I'm not sure what changes to make ... Maybe you can indicate me and I'll do the rest with a pull request ? =)

Thx !

It's not that easy, because UrlEncode doesn't exist in PCLs, but I'll take a look and try to fix this.

[simondebaecke]

"UrlEncode" is just the name of the method wrapper around the call to Uri.EscapeDataString () ... Nothing else or I'm missing something. ^^

Do not hesitate to ask for help ! ;)

I'm curious, can you please provide a stack trace? Does this bug still exist in the latest version (2.1.0-pre3)? The POST data is already sent using the HTTP content classes.

Ah, I misread your ticket. The problem that got fixed in RestSharp doesn't apply to RestSharp.Portable, because it already avoids EscapeDataString wherever it's possible.

[simondebaecke]

But I do have the problem with RestSharp.Portable ... ;)

[fubar-coder]

Ok, then it'd be really helpful when you provide a stack trace or a failing example ;)

I'll provide you all the exception with the stacktrace :

OK, thank you, that's exactly what I needed.
