passing a lot of data via uri segments - El Forum - 08-01-2008

newbie to ci and still learning the ropes ...
i have some jquery/javascript code that will insert data in the db by ajax request.
in the form data are many fields including [artistname, genre, url, description] etc.
is the standard uri segment approach used in a case like this typically?
in this case the user will not see the url as it will be ajax, but i am wondering what people do when they don't want a huge ugly url from a lot of data being passed in?
what kind of encoding decoding needs to be done to prevent (using a url as example) "/"'s or other characters from messing up the uri segments?
love some guidance or pointers ...

Your dealing with data transfer, so your going to want to make a POST request, not GET. Then, all your data can be accessed by $this->input->post('key')

well there's the great zen law of "you cannot figure it out for yourself until you post a question"...
