  Large file uploads via WSHttpBinding in WCF

  May 02, 2012 02:21 PM|LINK

  Hey everyone,

  I'm working on a WCF file uploader using WSHttpBinding. I am looking to upload files around 10 mb (not playing an exact game on that one, but won't be getting files much larger). Everything works pretty well up to about 5mb. after that, I start getting HTTP 500 errors.

  My binding is set up as follows:

  wsBinding.ReaderQuotas = System.Xml.XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas.Max;
  wsBinding.MaxBufferPoolSize = 52428800;
  wsBinding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = 13631488;
  wsBinding.ReceiveTimeout = new TimeSpan(0, 3, 0);

  My httpRuntime maxRequestLength is 20480kb in 

  My requests look like:

  POST http://mywebsite/FileUploader.svc HTTP/1.1
  Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
  Content-Type: application/soap+xml;charset=UTF-8;action="http://namespace/UploadPhoto"
  Content-Length: 13979476
  Host: mywebsite
  Connection: Keep-Alive
  User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.1.1 (java 1.5)
  
  <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:fil="http://namespace">
     <soap:Header xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing"><wsa:Action>http://namespace/IFileUploaderSvc/UploadPhoto</wsa:Action></soap:Header>
     <soap:Body>
        <fil:UploadPhoto>
           <fil:AuthorizationToken>(Password)</fil:AuthorizationToken>
           <fil:ProgramName>AProgram</fil:ProgramName>
           <fil:FileName>bigolefile.jpg</fil:FileName>
           <fil:File>(base 64 file data)</fil:File>
        </fil:UploadPhoto>
     </soap:Body>
  </soap:Envelope>
  

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thanks in advance!

  Thanks for the help. The biggest problem I've found when trying to google stuff is that most of the answers require changing to WebHttpBinding, which is not my primary choice for making this work, although I'm starting to think it may be the only way.

  Anyone else have any ideas?

  HTTP error 500 illustrates that the server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request, you could enable WCF tracing on the server side to see the inner executed information, maybe you can find some indicates.

  Yup. WCF tracing helped. Turns out that the increase in size by the base-64 file transform pushed even 5mb files way over the limit. Peter gets the points.

  Now.... For bonus points, what can I do to keep from performing that transform to keep bandwidth and buffer size low?
