Pass a lot of parameters to redirect

Question

After the record is saved, I want to pass a lot of ids to the redirect link. I cannot pass it using the default cookie-based store because it exceeds the size limit. I just want to pass the information through the url. However I am getting the error 400 (Bad Request) with the following.

redirect_to confirmation_my_records_path(invalid: ['case-1, 'case-2'] updated: ['case-3, 'case-4'] , saved: ['case-5, 'case-6'] )

which translates to:

http://localhost:3000/my_records/confirmation?address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002013&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002015&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002016&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002017&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002018&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002019&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002020&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002021&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002022&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002024&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002027&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002028&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002032&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002033&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002034&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002035&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002037&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002038&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002041&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002042&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002043&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002046&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002047&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002048&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002050&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002051&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002052&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002053&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002056&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002058&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002060&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002061&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002062&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002064&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002066&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002067&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002073&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002084&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002088&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002090&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002100&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-001962&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-001965&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-001972&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-001973&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-001984&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-001985&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-001986&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-001988&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-001990&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-001992&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-001994&address_blank%5B%5D=CONO-17-001197&address_blank%5B%5D=CONO-17-001198&address_blank%5B%5D=CONO-17-001203&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002349&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002359&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002378&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002379&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002380&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002381&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002384&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002387&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002113&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002116&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002122&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002132&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002197&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002198&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002203&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002205&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002226&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-002032&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-002040&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-002050&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-002058&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-002063&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-002064&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-002073&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-002079&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-002082&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-002085&address_blank%5B%5D=CONO-17-001219&address_blank%5B%5D=CONO-17-001243&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002447&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002456&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002464&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002471&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002477&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002478&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002481&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002489&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002497&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-001914&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-001925&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-001932&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-001937&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-001944&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-001952&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-001957&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-001959&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-001965&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-001966&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-001967&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-001971&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-001976&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-001983&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-001987&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-001999&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-001888&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-001892&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-001925&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-001928&address_blank%5B%5D=CONO-17-001160&address_blank%5B%5D=CONO-17-001161&address_blank%5B%5D=CONO-17-001162&address_blank%5B%5D=CONO-17-001165&address_blank%5B%5D=CONO-17-001172&address_blank%5B%5D=COSO-17-001687&address_blank%5B%5D=COSO-17-001710&address_blank%5B%5D=COSO-17-001731&address_blank%5B%5D=COSO-17-001734&address_blank%5B%5D=COSO-17-001735&address_blank%5B%5D=COSO-17-001774&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002231&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002256&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002257&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002279&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002304&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002306&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002308&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002314&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002316&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002319&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002326&address_blank%5B%5D=COWE-17-002332&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002238&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002251&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002253&address_blank%5B%5D=CACE-17-002289&address_blank%5B%5D=COCE-17-002117&address_blank%5B%5D

What other options do I have to pass large amounts of data on redirect?

Answer 1

the best way I can see this being done is by the data up into multiple cookies, you could have every 100 or so lines placed into a cookie or have each parameter stored in a separate cookie so that you could fit into the 4 kilobyte maximum. The only alternative i see to this solution would be to show a form to the user on the redirect page, then using javascript to submit the form, you would have effectively submitted a form and created a post request without any interaction by the user.
