Re: size limit with onInput: and jQuery callback:value:

Adding type: 'POST' did indeed fix the problem, in both the Pharo image, and in VW + HA Proxy. Interesting that VW without HA Proxy worked fine (made for some fun diagnostics).
Much thanks,Bob

 Hi Bob,
Have you tried setting the ajax request to type POST instead of the (standard) GET?
 onInput: ( html jQuery ajax  type: ‘POST’; callback: [:stringValue | self enteredText: stringValue] value: html jQuery this value);
Web servers (and proxies) often set a maximum url length. Since a GET request encodes both the Seaside callback number and the entered text into the url, it will most probably be truncated by the web server.In most cases I observed, it was only the entered text that was truncated, but depending on the position of the parameters, it may also truncate the Seaside callback number. As a result, the callback will not be invoked.
I did not try your example, so if this is not the case, ping me back and I will take a closer look.
Also: I often ask myself why people copy/paste entire documents in textareas :))
Hope it helpsJohan

Hello,We're seeing a problem where entering large text into a textArea causes the component to no longer be responsive. In our case, using VW 7.10.1, the problem only happens if we're using a reverse proxy (either HA Proxy or Apache). To debug the problem, I set up a development VW image running Seaside on port 7771 and HA Proxy on another server, redirecting port 80 to 7771. I then connected two sessions: one directly to the Seaside image, and one by way of the HA Proxy server. The directly connected session works fine, no limit on entered text that I can see. HA Proxy session has problems if the text entered is around 3500 (the exact number varies). 
Cincom suggested putting a break into SiouX.NetHttpResponder>>createRequestFrom: which shows that jQuery callback from onInput is not being sent.
So, to isolate the problem (and get some help on this forum), I coded an example in a new Pharo 4.0 image, with Seaside 3.1. This example, however, has the same symptom as my VW + HA Proxy configuration: once the entered text is past around 3500, the onInput ajax callback no longer responds. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this problem... I have some unhappy users. 
renderContentOn: html
 html heading: 'Text Editor'. html textArea style: 'width: 820px; height: 200px; ';  value: self enteredText; onInput: ( html jQuery ajax  callback: [:stringValue | self enteredText: stringValue] value: html jQuery this value); onBlur: ( (html jQuery id: 'displayedText') load html: [:renderer |  self renderEnteredTextOn: renderer]). html horizontalRule. self renderEnteredTextOn: html.

renderEnteredTextOn: html
 html div id: 'displayedText'; with: [  html big: 'size: ', self enteredText size printString; break. html text: self enteredText]

Thanks,
