What is the effective way to transfer all users contact OIDs from shtml file to python file

Malathi_Natarajan

In our application, there is a page called Contact List page where users can
export list of users contact as CSV file.


There is a button called "Export List (CSV format)". When clicking on this
button, a shtml file is called which redirects page to run a python script and
also pass huge number of user's contact OIDs as string parameter in url.

example:

https://webwork.test.staralliance.com/gm/RunScript?script=star/contactToCSV.py&list=1.59.10999,1.59.7436,1.59.111,1.59.20584,1.59.20532,1.59.14815,........

The maximum character limit for URL in IE is 2048. But sometimes, the url
generated by this shtml file even exceeds 4500 characters.This causes 502
error.

Please advise on effective way to transfer all these users contact OIDs from
shtml file to python file.

Also please suggest is there any post method (like in java or .net)
present in VBCS API to pass user's OIDs from shtml to python file instead of
passing the values in the url?

Thanks,

Ravi, I gather this post was in reference to VOLSS ticket 246592. Please confirm is this in an shtml page that  you created? What code are you using to call the python script from your shtml page?
