HTTP/HTTPS Post Problem

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I am currently running Domino 6.5.1 Interim Fix 1 on a WIN2K server.

I am using the POST method of the web form to upload a file to the domino server. The file transfer seems to work fine when using HTTP but fails when using HTTPS. I receive the message HTTP Web Server:Invalid POST request exception when using HTTPS.

Is there a limitation regarding the MAXIMUM SIZE OF REQUEST CONTENT, and the MAXIMUM POST DATA parameters when using HTTPS as opposed to using HTTP? Are the same values used for HTTP

and HTTPS?

Is there some other means to use the file upload control for secure transfers.

Thanks.

David,I’m only running 6.5.1 w/o the fix, and Domino has the same problem. It looks like https is NOT using the same ‘Max Size Request Content’ field that http is using. I don’t know what the fix is, but please keep me posted if you find out anything.

Thanks.

Figured it out. The Maximum Post Data under the Internet Protocols/HTTP only applies to HTTP requests. All other “web” protocol requests fall under the parameter “Maximum POST data” located in the server doc under the Internet Protocols/Domino Web Engine tab. Change that to some high number (zero for unlimited is not supported) like 51200 KB and you should be good.
