Hi Guys
I've implemented a small set of REST services using WCF. One of the services recieves a large amount of data. When calling it (this is when runnig it from visual studio - I haven't deployed itto a production server yet) I get the error:-
The remote server returned an error: (413) Request Entity Too Large.
I've been doing some reading on t'internet and I gather this is because the default server that runs is set to reject large request to help prevent DOS attacks. That makes sense but I need to increase the size to cope with my request. This will ultimately go an an intranet so DOS attacks aren't a major concern. Anyway, from what I've read on the net I've ended up adding the following to my Web.Config:-
...but that hasn't worked. Is there anything wrong with that or is there something else I should be doing? Any advice?
Here's the full web config in case the problem is elsewhere:-
