Http error 404 on transmitting big data

[hhp]

Hi,

I have a web service with a method like:

public string InsertData(string type, byte[] content)
{ ... }

and a client which calls the method similar to:

using (BinaryReader reader=new BinaryReader(new FileStream(name,..)))
{
byte[] data = reader.ReadBytes((int) reader.BaseStream.Length);
webSvr.InsertData("file", data);
}


It's all ok but the data of content exceeds about 4 MByte of size. Then the
client gets an 404 http error. It's the same on XP and Vista.

What could happen here? Thanks in advance for any help.

Check out the maxRequestLength attribute of httpRunTime (Web.config). This
defaults to 4 MB.

Hi,
You will need to add this Key in your Web.config:

<maxRequestLength = "YourValue">

Where YourValue = numeric value signifying the size in KB
