POST parameters exceeds the maximum limit

This refers to the error message:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (POST parameters exceeds the maximum limit.)

And the CF Admin setting: Maximum number of POST request parameters

I just migrated client from CF 9 to CF 11 on a new server.
This is shared hosting so they won't increase the number from the default 100.

So my question is to ask if anyone knows of any workarounds besides rewriting the application?

I guess that CF9 didn't have this setting so there wasn't an issue???
I read that but don't have access to a CF9 to verify.

Thanks

(no points... quick comment before I head out)

I either changed the setting up from 100 in CF Admin but when checking it is still at 100.

Checking which settings, CF11? IIRC the admin setting wasn't added until CF10. If so, you would've had to modify neo-runtime.xml. If you upgraded, I'm guessing you don't have access to the old settings, but is it possible the setting didn't carry over? Because that's what it sounds like - if you're saying the CF11 settings are now 100.

Unfortunately there's really no easy/clean way to get around it (other than modifying neo-runtime.xml) because the restriction is enforced through some internal servlet, meaning CF kills the whole request long before you'd be able to do anything with it via CF code.

yeah - I agree - I was just hoping that one of you clever geniuses had some type of fix ...
I may have recalled incorrectly when I said I was able to fix this problem on CF9 - I think it was still CF11, but on a box that I had control of - not shared hosting.
It all becomes a blur ...

thanks for the comments

Additional Question: anyone know of a host (shared hosting) that allows this setting to be changed?
