Hi there,

I have a requirement where users upload files larger than 2GB. I have tried several approaches such as setting maxRequestLength in the web.config and maxAllowedContentLength for requestLimits on IIS7 with no luck and setting the MaxDataSize to 0. Also I looked at this article with no luck either. Is there a different approach I am missing?

Thanks in adcanve

Hi,

I do not believe you can do that through standard HTTP protocol. In HTTP the request size field is defined as an integer and most browsers interpret as 32 bits, which has a theoretical limit of 2GB. Excluding encoding overhead will give you a limit well below 2GB.

Thanks!
