WebRequest error ==> Invalid URI: The Uri string is too long

Hi, I'm trying to send a large geometry (our city limits) to Esri's Data Enrichment service.  To do this I use the WebRequest activity, and send the geometry in JSON format.  This works for smaller polygons, but fails on large ones with the error "Invalid URI: The Uri string is too long".  The documentation says it defaults to POST, so I'm not sure why this would be failing, as I thought POST could handle any length of strings.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

  Are you appending your geometry parameter to the end of the Uri argument? The Uri has a length limit, but the POST body does not. If you add the geometry as a separate parameter, using the "Create Parameter" button it should work fine.
