LiveCode Server latency causing empty results

[Richard Gaskin]

I don't think it's the URL length.  URL length may sometimes be an 
issue, but most often only for the server; since this works in a browser 
I think it may be reasonably safe to rule that out.

Cookies won't appear in the data, but they can be seen with whatever 
tools your browser provides for examining cookies.  However, since this 
is an intermittent problem with a high success rate, I don't think this 
is related to required cookies not being provided.

Have you tried other combinations of words of similar total length in 
both the browser and LC?  Maybe it's a specific set of words, or the way 
they're URL encoded, or something else along those lines.

Can you share the full URL of an example that fails?
