WebException HTTP 400 depending size of attachment

[vigori]

I have an application that send a file to a web service (I built both the
application and the web service)
I set the max file size via web.config of the web service:

<httpRuntime executionTimeout="1800"
maxRequestLength="5000"
/>

When the file size exceed 5000 (kb) I receive the right exception
(System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException) that tell me that the dimension
is incorrect.
If I try to reduce the timeout and my application exceed the timeout, also
in this case receive the right exception.

But when I send i file larger then 4096 kbyte and less than 5000 kb (or the
limit set in maxRequestLength) I receive a generic System.Net.WebException:
The request failed with HTTP status 400: Bad Request
at
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtoc ol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage
message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall)
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtoc ol.Invoke(String
methodName, Object[] parameters)

There was a limit in SOAP message size or the limit is in IIS?

I looked for a limit in IIS metabase.xml and .config files but I found
nothing.
My Configuration is:
Windows 2003 (italian)
IIS 6.0
Web Services Enhancements 2.0 (on server and client)

Many thanks

Hello vigori,
I believe teh default limit is 4096kb. And i dont know it at the top of
my head but its a property called RequestSizeLimit??!! in machine.config

Hello,
I have just looked for something sound like "maxsize", "sizelimit" etc. or
value equal to 4096 or 4194304 in machine.config and metabase.xml.
I think it's a setting but i would know where is.
I try to post this problem in many forums but nobody can solve it.

Thank you

Hello vigori,

Quoted from another post
{{
If you want to make it higher you can do some by editing your application's
local web.config file and setting
the "maxRequestLength" attribute on the httpRuntime section handler (the
value is the number of KBytes to support -- so 8000 would be around Mb).

<configuration>

<system.web>

<httpRuntime maxRequestLength&#"8;000"/>

</system.web>

</configuration>
}}

Also
{{
perhaps your machine.config is not allowing you to overide the httpruntime
settings? Are you able to view the servers Machine.config?

Locking Configuration Settings

To prevent individual applications from overriding machine-level policy configuration,
place settings within a <location> element in Machine.config and set the
allowOverride="false" attribute.

For example, to apply machine-wide policy that cannot be overridden at the
application level, use the following <location> element:

<location path="" allowOverride="false">
<system.web>
. machine-wide defaults
</system.web>
</location>

By leaving the path attribute empty, you indicate that the settings apply
to the machine, while allowOverride="false" ensures that Web.config settings
do not override the specified values. Any attempt to add elements in Web.config
will generate an exception, even if the elements in Machine.config match
with those of Web.config.

Hello,
thank you for your reply, but maxRequestLength dont solve the problem.
As I said in first post if I set maxRequestLength to 3000, max file size
that can be uploaded is 3000, but if I set maxRequestLength with I value
greater than 4096 max file size that can be uploade remain 4096. Obviusly the
values is in Kbyte.
