Vortex can't handle certain ouput of POST operation?

[tboyer]

We use the following <submit> to get a long list of output. The output comes from a Microsoft .net system that sends a gigantic text variable VIEWSTATE before it sends the page results.
Variable looks like this: DtsPGk8MD47PjtsPHQ8QDxc for 500-800k. Weird, huh? Anyway, I can't get Vortex to handle it. I know the site generates the page in 8-10 seconds but Vortex times out at 5 mins before it stores the output. I have tried it the following way -- with TOFILE and I have also stored to $RET and tried to Rex past it. Neither works. The overall output is not that huge -- probably about 1-2 MB. So I think SOMETHING is choking on that long string. Any thoughts about a solution?

<submit METHOD=POST TOFILE=$file URL=http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_st ... fault.aspx
txtsessionyear="2008"
ddlobody="s"
cmdsubmit="Submit"
__VIEWSTATE="$viewstate" >

I tried that in my browser and in vortex. Vortex is working fine. The server is dog slow at returning the page. I've waited for 5 minutes and it's still dribbling out a little at a time. Using a super long timeout may allow you to get the entire page. Also make sure your maxpgsize is large enough to handle the result.
Whatever the timeout or maxpgsize vortex successfully gives you as much as the server delivered to that point.
