Request Entity Too Large WCF issue

Question

i have a simple WCF with a couple of methods, the first is: GetDetails, this method, return me some informations and a couple of images in a byte array (all of this in a XML document), but i have a problem:

when i try to call this method:

using (testWCF wcfClient = new testWCF()) { //new testWCF() has no parameter costructors, so i can't use bindings or different endpoint...Why?...anyway
                string ff = wcfClient.GetDetails ("Test");
            }

The debugger throw me a new exception: (413) Request Entity Too Large

...This is strange, because in the web.config, the configuration seems good:

Please, help me, i'm struggling on this.

Answer 1

change your configuration as follow :

1. You have to increase the UploadReadAheadSize. (Default size 48kb)

2. Increase maxReceivedMessageSize as below

   <basicHttpBinding>
     <binding maxReceivedMessageSize="10485760">
     </binding>
   </basicHttpBinding>
