  Maximum request length exceeded

  Jul 07, 2006 06:56 PM|LINK

  Hi:

  I created an asp.net to upload files.
  My code is written in visual basic.net

  When I try to upload a file bigger than my
  maxRequestLength setting I get this exception:

  (0x80004005): Maximum request length exceeded.

  I can not catch the exception even using try-catch-finally

  Is there a way to catch this exception?

  Thanks!!

  asp.net writes the file into memory as client can save the file to the disk. look for machine.config attributes memoryLimit ,processModel

  You can set maximum request length in web.config

  <configuration>
      <system.web>
          <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="32768" />
      </system.web>
  </configuration>

  I have a similar problem.  The file size limit is set high on our site, but I get timeouts if it takes longer than a couple of minutes to upload the file. Do not want to catch the error, but rather make a setting change to avoid it.

  Increase request timeout to desirable time. Remember there are two timeouts "Request" and "Session". you need to increase "Request" timeout.

  <configuration>
      <system.web>
          <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="32768" />
      </system.web>
  </configuration>

   

  How do I write some errror checking code in my code behind to handle this error? Instead of keep increasing this number, I want to put out a friendly message to the user about the max size. How do I do that?

  you can check the file lenght of the file that the user is trying to post to the server then display your message

  try
  {
     if(fileToBeUploaded > constantMaximumFileSize)
     {
        //display your pretty message here
        messageLabel.Text = "Hey! You can't upload a file more than " +
                         + constantMaximumFileSize;
     }
     else
     {
        //do your upload code here
     }
  }
  catch(HttpException httpEx)
  {
     //HttpExceptions is an exception that occurrs during the processing of HTTP requests
  }

  That does not work because the error occurs before that.
