Limits for Uploads, Buffering and Requests

You may need to modify some limits for uploads, buffering and requests to suit your needs for the website (e.g., if you are running very large reports and find that they do not respond, if you are unable to upload large files, etc.).

  1. In the Connections pane of the IIS Manager, click the XFRACAS site. Under Management, double-click Configuration Editor.

  2. In the Section drop-down list, choose system.webServer/asp. Under limits:

    • The maxRequestEntityAllowed value sets the maximum file size that can be uploaded to the server. This is set during installation to 10,485,760 bytes (or ~10 MB).

    • The bufferingLimit value sets the size of the buffer that holds the response sent back to the client. This is set during installation to 10,485,760 bytes (or ~10 MB).

  3. In the Section drop-down list, choose system.webServer/caching.

    The maxResponseSize value sets the maximum file size that can be returned to the client. This is set during installation to 262,144 bytes (or ~262 KB).

  4. In the Section drop-down list, choose system.web/httpRuntime.

    The maxRequestLength value specifies the limit for the input stream buffering threshold, in kilobytes. This is set to 10240 KB by default.

  5. Return to the Connections pane, click the XFRACAS site. Under IIS, double-click Request Filtering.

  6. In the Actions panel, click the Edit Feature Settings link.

    The Maximum allowed content length value specifies the maximum length of content in a request, in bytes. This is set to 30000000 bytes (or ~30 MB) by default.
