Handling huge data via jquery ajax

Question

I m building a blog in asp.net. I want to use jquery to add the posts and display them too. But I m not sure if it is gonna work fine in case of huge posts because last time I had problem posting a huge data using jquery ajax. The json object was truncated after 50000 characters by Firebug saying the

Request Size Limit has been reached

I noticed for even for a normal post the number of characters cross 50K. Is there a way to solve this "request size limit" or "is it a bad idea to pass such huge data using jquery". Please suggest me. Thanks

You could also try and set this setting in your web.config:

<configuration> 
   <system.web.extensions>
       <scripting>
           <webServices>
               <jsonSerialization maxJsonLength="50000000"/>
           </webServices>
       </scripting>
   </system.web.extensions>
</configuration> 

More information can be found here:

Good luck!

I think the issue is a limitation of Firebug and NOT the Ajax request. Firebug has limits of how much data is shown in its network panel.

See this: Firebug Preferences

This is the default:

cache.responseLimit
Maximum size limit for cached and displayed network responses
bytes 5242880
