Hello Dynamicweb

During project development we ran into a issue with the "add product to group" feature in the admin panel. It would throw a timeout-exception when searching for products, since our solution contains an huge amount. To solve this we had one of you, from dynamicweb, develop a GroupProductAttacherAddIn to handle this instead, which it does, nearly.

Here's a small snippit:

var selectedProducts = "";
$('#attach_form :checkbox:not(:disabled):checked').each(function () {
    selectedProducts += "[" + $(this).val() + "];";
});
$.get("/admin/module/ecom_catalog/dw7/edit/EcomUpdator.aspx?CMD=AppendProductsToGroup&GroupID=@groupId&ProdArr=" + selectedProducts)
.done(function () {
    window.close();
});

Reading this, the problem suddenly becomes apparent. The entire form of products is being added to the url, so when the user reaches +300 products, the url becomes too large to handle. To this end i thought a simple fix would be changing the $.get to the following:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "/admin/module/ecom_catalog/dw7/edit/EcomUpdator.aspx",
    data: {
        CMD: "AppendProductsToGroup",
        GroupID: "@groupId",
        ProdArr: selectedProducts
    },
    success: function () {
        window.close();
    }
});

After the post has finished, nothing happened to the product-group-relation.

So my first guess would be that the EcomUpdator doesn't accept parameters as Form Data, or is there something else that i am missing?
