Adding a file to a forms url string

Forms

asked on February 21, 2018

Is it possible to pass a file attachment to forms through the URL string? Something like this:

http://localhost/Forms/36CKO?Attachment=<binary_file_data>

If so, how would I need to format the file data?

No, I don't believe this is possible or feasible. Even if you encoded the file as, say, base64, browsers impose character limits on URLs - around 2000 characters. That's less than 2KB. Nowhere enough for any type of serious encoding.

Thanks Ege... I kind of suspected that browsers would have limits.
