wcf .net 4.6 iis 7.5 413 error

Question

I am having problems calling a wcf service from an asp.net application / console application. The error I am getting is "The remote server returned an error: (413) Request Entity Too Large."

Both web.config and app.config have the following lines:

    <system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
    <basicHttpBinding>
    <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IWCLService" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" messageEncoding="Text">
    <readerQuotas maxDepth="2000000" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
    </binding>
    </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
    <endpoint address="http://[server]/[projectname].wcfservice/WCLService.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IWCLService" contract="wclSvc.IWCLService" name="BasicHttpBinding_IWCLService" />
    </client>
    </system.serviceModel>

This is the web.config of the wcf service itself:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
     <configuration>
      <appSettings>
       <add key="aspnet:UseTaskFriendlySynchronizationContext" value="true" />
      </appSettings>
      <system.web>
       <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.6" />
       <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="104857600" targetFramework="4.6" />
       <customErrors mode="Off" />
      </system.web>
      <system.serviceModel>
       <behaviors>
        <serviceBehaviors>
         <behavior>

          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
         </behavior>
        </serviceBehaviors>
       </behaviors>
       <protocolMapping>
        <add binding="basicHttpsBinding" scheme="https" />
       </protocolMapping>    
       <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
      </system.serviceModel>
      <system.webServer>
       <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />
        <directoryBrowse enabled="true" />
        <staticContent>
         <mimeMap fileExtension=".svc" mimeType="application/octet-stream" />
        </staticContent>
        <handlers>
         <add name="svc-integrated" path="*.svc" verb="*" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpHandler" resourceType="File" preCondition="integratedMode" />
        </handlers>
        <security>
         <requestFiltering>
            <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="104857600" />
         </requestFiltering>
        </security>
     </system.webServer>

    </configuration>

Please provide more information, i.e. at a minimum the specific error (message) you get. "I am having problems" is a little too generic to act upon. — Christian.K, Apr 26 '17 at 11:53
Hi Christian, "The remote server returned an error: (413) Request Entity Too Large." — VinceV, Apr 26 '17 at 11:56
How big is your request. Try using fiddler to see the message being sent. — J Man, Apr 26 '17 at 14:25
Hello J Man, this is what I get from Fiddler: Request Count: 1 Bytes Sent: 147,850 (headers:379; body:147,471) Bytes Received: 200 (headers:200; body:0) — VinceV, Apr 26 '17 at 16:02
meanwhile, try to consume a helloworld operation and see if its working. — Houssam Hamdan, Apr 26 '17 at 17:18
Hi Houssam, it works with small data, but when I try to pass long text somewhere around 19K characters it fails :) — VinceV, Apr 27 '17 at 01:40
