HTTP 413 Request Entity too Large - Can't upload large files

HTTP 413 Request Entity too Large - Can't upload large files

If you are tring to upload a file using file uploader in IIS6 ro IIS7 normally HTTP request is allowed to upload upto file size 2 MB. But when you are using file upload feature with CAC (client access certificates) the SSL preload is used a new metabase property called UploadReadAheadSize in IIS6 or 7 to determine the maximum buffer size of the incoming request. The default size for this buffer is 48k, which was added to prevent anonymous DOS attacks by uploading very large garbage files.

Simply you can increse this thresold value to avoid this problem. You can change this setting up to 4GB although you probably wouldn't want to do so unless you had a compelling business need. Of course a site that required authentication would be an effective way of limiting the chances of DoS, so if you do need to up this limit, you should consider requiring client authentication to connect.

Use following scripts to change the uploadreadheadsize:

cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/1/uploadreadaheadsize 204800

If you get following error, you need to install adsutil.vbs script in your machine. or you can run this command from the location of the script.

Input Error: Can not find script file "C:\Users\Administrator\adsutil.vbs".

Search "adsutil.vbs download" to get the lates script from the web.

Building robust APIs with Node.js

Node.js is a popular open-source JavaScript runtime environment that allows developers to build scalable and high-performance web applications. One of the key strengths of Node.js is its ability to build APIs quickly and efficiently. APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, allow different systems to communicate with each other, enabling data exchange and other operations. Building robust APIs with Node.js requires an understanding of RESTful architecture, which is a widely adopted standard for creating APIs. RESTful APIs provide a standardized way to expose data and functionality over the web using a set of HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. To build a robust Node.js API, developers must choose an appropriate framework and set up a development environment. They should also handle errors and exceptions, implement authentication and authorization, and use middleware to enhance the functionality of the API. Writing test cases, documenting the API using tools such as Swa...
