Hi,
I got a soap service which query a database an returns a whole stock list to the client. The stock list can be in size from 800K to 1.5MB. Could somebody tell me which is the best of of returning these sort of data to the client. The client suppose to display the whole list on website suing HTML. As its a shopping cart. Please let me know which is the best way to do this.
Thanks
Sending Huge file to Client

The "best" way would be a way that the customer could actually use. You generally want to avoid making customers do a lot of scrolling. If you give them a huge 1.5 MB list of items, chances are that they won't read the whole list.
You need to break things up into categories and sub categories, and then display the lists with pagination.
