search query length limit

[fooba...@gmail.com]

I'm trying to send a query to the search api with a couple hundred names, and I get

{"status":"ERROR","message":"Search Syntax Error: Error from server at http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1: Expected mime type application/octet-stream but got text/html. <h1>Bad Message 414</h1><pre>reason: URI Too Long</pre>"}

Is there a good way around this? It seems the search api doesn't support POST requests, and I can't find a way to make solr accept longer GET URIs.

You're right, the Dataverse Search API doesn't support POST. Maybe it should. Please feel free to create an issue about this.

The good news is that Solr itself does support POST*. For example, This works fine on my machine (searching the "name" field for "foobar"):

curl -X POST -d "{\"query\": \"name:foobar\"}" http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/query

(In curl, "-d" does a POST automatically but above I put in the "-X POST" for clarity.)

I'm not sure what a good workaround would be. If you have access to the Solr server itself, you could query it with POST directly.

I hope this helps,

Phil
