SSL HTTP Post Limit ~10MB

Hi@all,

this morning i ran in a little tricky problem on http posts controlled by default file upload control.

For Uploading files about 20MB of size i increased the “max. size of request content” to 50000kb in the server doc and the maximum post data value in the corresponding Web Site Doc to 50000 also.

So after the changes, sure there’s no problem uploading files above the default 10mb limit. But the point is, when switching to SSL/https i get an “Invalid POST Request Exception” for each file over 10MB. You can try it shortly, blank db, webform with fileupload control and switch between http and https.

So i searched the web but didn’t find anything helpful till now.

I think it have to be a setting only somewhere else (10k!?) - in first, i also checked the Request-Header size, thought it may be wrong, but seemed to be correct.

i’m really appreciative for any help on this.

Alex

i tried the same test on my server using the web configuration view with no problem,it may be that you have ssl misconfigured for the internet site doc

when going over ssl the internet site needs a unique IP address specified in the config doc to bind to,

when going over ssl your server may be trying to use a different interent site config, (which is not configured for more than 10mb uploads)

a good test would be to change something like the home url on the internet site to see if it comes up when we connect over http vs htps

Thanks for your advise, in point of fact the “default internet site” document was used… which had the default 10MB limit set.

Problem solved :wink: - have a nice day
