Application_Err or and Maximum request length exceeded

Jacky Kwok

Dear all:

I know how to use the "Application_Er ror" in "Global.asa x" to catch the
exception and display my own error message page.

However, I found "Application_Er ror" cannot handle the error of "Maximum
request length exceeded" (in my case, actually too large upload file
size, I know how to modify the "maxRequestLeng th" to change the upload
size but I need a formal error message in this case).

In VS.NET debugger, program could run into the "Application_Er ror".
However, no matter I used the

<customErrors defaultRedirect ="errorStatus.h tm" mode="On"> </customErrors>

or

handling redirect in program code.

The error page of

displayed.

Anyone know how to handle this problem?
Thank you very much.

I've run into this, I couldn't find a way to handle the error either. I'll
do some research on it and let you know what I find out. I didn't find
anything on it before but it's worth another shot.

Hi

Ive found exacaty the same problem

I tried using Appliaction_Err or to write to an error log, set a sessio
variable to flag the error and then redirect back to the original page

the application_err or event is fired ok, the event log is written, th
session variable is set but the response.redire ct doesnt work - i als
tried server.transfer - that doesnt work either

has anyone found a method of displaying a useful error message ?

thanks
Mar

How to handle "Maximum request length exceeded" exception

by: cmay | last post by:

I have changed my config files to set the limit for files being uploaded to 30 MB, but every now and then someone tries to upload a file larger than this. All I want, is to be able to trap the error and tell the user what happened. I can trap the error in the page_error (Page.Error) event, and I believe I was also trapping it at the application_error level at one point. My problem is, once I trap the error, I can't do anything to tell...

"Maximum request length exceeded" error seems to drop some Cookies and Session variables.

I've seen that when an HTTP 400 error occurs ("Maximum request length exceeded") that some of my Session level variables and Cookies get "lost" is there a way to preserve them without resorting to storing them as Application level variables (naming them with the SessionID)? Just curious... Thanks, Chris

VS2005 Debugger causes Application_Error

by: PaulM | last post by:

While using the debugger in VS2005 it occasionally will cause an Application_Error. The reason I know this is the first line of the Application_Error method checks the request object: if (Request.Url.Segments == "get_aspx_ver.aspx") This code was for VS2003 to catch when it was checking for the hidden file 'get_aspx_ver.aspx" to check which version of Framework was loaded. It appears that VS2005 does something different. Anybody...
