HTTP request length -- when trying to send large amount of data

Every Application must face the HTTP request length to small, whether it to upload big file or send request/response with large data.

 

Before IIS6

Add the below setting to webconfig of the receive service/app

 

<system.web>

    <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2097151" executionTimeout="3600" />

 

For IIS6 and above

In addition to previous setting also add the below one in the same file

 

<system.webServer>

  <security>

    <requestFiltering>

      <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="4294967295" ></requestLimits>

    </requestFiltering>

  </security>
