Cannot use setHTML with larger texts

[pr4xx]

This lib uses only get requests for its api communication. setHTML suppots post requests. I am trying to set a larger html text which fails.

Can you give an example on which size of HTML the requests fails? Maybe we can cover this with a test or it's maybe solved in a newer version of Etherpad. (I need to update the version the client tests against)

I just ran into this problem as well. The problem with passing large amounts of data (usually more than 8k) in a get request isn't specific to etherpad. Many web servers do not allow more than 8k in a get request. The etherpad docs say:

If your text is long (>8 KB), please invoke via POST and include text parameter in the body of the request, not in the URL (since Etherpad 1.8).

I'm not very familiar with guzzle, but I guess you just need to change the $client->get(..) into a $client->post(...) for some api functions. Starting with setText() might be a good test.
