I am building a site using Contour for a form where customers can upload files. These files can potentially be quite big.
The first file I tested (about 190Mb) threw an error:
HTTP Error 404.13 - Not Found The request filtering module is configured to deny a request that exceeds the request content length.
I have increased web.config httpRuntime/maxRequestLength to 819200000 any bigger and it fails with an invalid int32 error (the largest Int32 number is 2,147,483,647). I can now upload quite large files but still not the 190Mb.
I also noticed that Contour threw the error before checking that the mandatory fields were complete, surely there should be a client side check before submit??
This raises some questions:
1) 819,200,000 bytes = 781.25Mb so something else is restricting the upload - maybe the applicationhost.config?
2) I appreciate 190 Mb is big and maybe I should restrict to say 50Mb anyway, but how?
3) How can I trap Contour errors?
4) Do I have something missing vis a vis client side validation or does it not exist?
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<!-- This will handle requests up to 1024MB (1GB) -->
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1048576000" />
</requestFiltering>
</security>
In the <system.webServer/> section
I still want to limit the upload size and trap any errors though.

I have fixed the upload problem (up to 1Gb which should be enough ;).
On http://forums.asp.net/t/1919541.aspx?HTTP+Error+404+13+Not+Found I discovered that "maximumRequestLength is measured in kilobytes" so I had way enough size for my files but I also needed to add:

is working on a reply...
