WMS with POST Requests to Avoid Long URLs

sld, sld_body, post, iframe, advanced

Render tiles in IMG or IFRAME elements, depending on the complexity of the GetMap request

The maxGetUrlLength property of the layer's tileOptions option causes tiles to be requested using HTTP POST when the length of the GET url would exceed the specified length (2048 characters is recommended). In real life applications, this happens often when using the SLD_BODY request parameter for inline styling.

Long URL - POST requests
Short URL - GET requests
