I wonder if there are any problems with changes to appleEvents, or the apps table for webserver if the creator has changed...  I never found this to be a great solution anyway for me since there was still the 32K limitation on passed data.

You have a good point (32K limit). As I recall, there never seemed to be a huge demand for the fixes required to work around the limit, so it never got done.

Maybe if Bob tells us what steps he's taken, and what's not working, we can sort out whether it's even possible to do in Mac OS X. I won't be able to do a test setup to try and reproduce the problem until late this evening at the earliest.
