Well add my vote for a webservices file upload!

In this case having to chop the files up is not worth the pain. We will leave them as files somewhere else secure.

Thanks anyway.

Hi Russell,

Currently the Notes field supports 1991 characters. This is limiting for certificate files. We hope to have native support for file attachments included in webservices soon.

However, there was a previous discussion about this on the forums over here:

It's written in PowerShell rather than Ruby, but it should give you a good idea on how to overcome the limitation for now.

The immediate aim of my ruby script is to upload a bunch of SSL certs (and associated keys). I am intending to store the keys/certs in note fields -- I assume that the contents should be uri encoded.

What are the size limits on note fields?
