Re: Maximum file upload question

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hmmm... a bit nitpicky, but true.

I say nitpicky because I've been trying to figure out what an http request larger than
1MB looks like, other than an uploaded file...and can't come up with a valid example.

However, for comprehensiveness sake, ( just in case a request is made which isn't
an uploaded file but is larger than 1MB ) the following web.config entry would cover all bases :

<configuration>
<location path="UploadPage.aspx">
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1024"/>
</location>
</configuration>

Notice that the entry can be located in the root web.config.
A separate web.config is not needed.

If the upload aspx is in a different directory, including the path will do fine :

<location path="/directory/UploadPage.aspx">

It should be noted that this entry will limit the size of all HTTP requests for all pages controlled by that
web.config. You can, however, put the "upload file" page in its own sub-folder and put a web.config in that folder
with the appropriate settings. For example, you might also want to adjust the timeout value to allow for slow uploads,
etc.

I guess my point is, the upload settings for files is probably different than for "regular" requests, so consider
putting pages that upload files into their own sub-folder with their own web.config.


!> I would like to limit the user to upload at the maximum 1 meg of file

Iy's very simple...

In web.config :

<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1024"/>
