Is there a trap for this error? It happens when the post is too large...

I think it would be cool if the user was shown an error prior to submitting the post.
 
"Your post is nnn characters too long, please shorten your post."
(Or something like that. )

The problem is that the ASP Response Object can only handle 100Kb.

The other problem is that it is almost impossible to know if the data parsed to the Response Object has gone over this 100Kb limit.

The reason for this is that the browser parses all sorts of data across to the Response Object when a page is submitted including cookie data, form data, browser data, browser and site header data, etc. etc. etc.

The amount and type of data parsed to the Response Object continually changes and is different for every single site and every page.
