HttpException: Maximum request length exceeded

[=?Utf-8?B?UGV0ZXIgU2NobWl0eg==?=]

HI,

in one of my webservices I need to provide a string to the consuming
application that can become really large (depending on user input).
Unfortunately, if the string becomes too long, the following error occurrs:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException was unhandled
Actor=""
Lang=""
Message="System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapExcepti on: There was an
exception running the extensions specified in the config file. --->

StackTrace:

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)

How can I transport this string anyway - especially as I cannot limit the
string length?

Best wishes,

Peter

Hi,
You can set it in the web.config file with:
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="9000"></httpRuntime>

The above will set it to 9 mb

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

CAUSE
This problem occurs because the default value for the maxRequestLength
parameter in the <httpRuntimesection of the Machine.config file is 4096 (4
megabytes). As a result, files that are larger than this value are not
uploaded by default.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods: • In the
Machine.config file, change the maxRequestLength attribute of the
<httpRuntimeconfiguration section to a larger value. This change affects
the whole computer.
• In the Web.config file, override the value of maxRequestLength for the
application. For example, the following entry in Web.config allows files that
are less than or equal to 8 megabytes (MB) to be uploaded:<httpRuntime
maxRequestLength="8192" />
