Dear all,

I have been playing with the API using Curl and I am not sure where the limitation I am seeing is coming from, but I cannot put more than 1024 chars, including the needed XML, into the the body of a page.

Here is some output using curl -v with the tokens and text file content removed, first a failing case with exactly 1024 bytes, then a working case with 1023 bytes:
