As the question suggest is it possible to change the maximum request length in an asp.net mvc project without modifying the web.config file?
The project is on several client servers which I don't want to have to manually change for each one so hoping I can put something in global.asax to write it instead or similar?
EDIT:
OR is it possible to add another config file with just the settings I want to overwrite?
I don't think that's possible, as the web config stores the configuration values that your application uses to define how it behaves - in this case, the length of the data you require to be passed on.
You would need to modify the web.config as follows:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1048576" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
And if you are on IIS7 above, the following needs to be configured as well:
<system.webServer>
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1073741824" />
</requestFiltering>
</security>
</system.webServer>
Additional Note: maxAllowedContentLength is measured in bytes while maxRequestLength is measured in kilobytes
Some options you have are:
Powershell script that would read your web.config files on the different servers and update the configuration values accordingly.
Uploading the web config directly via FTP or publish.
Modifying the web config directlyon the server instance.

In our Web API, we can not upload fize size which is more than 30MB. We used to get 404 Error such as "404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."
By Googling and seeing various post, I tired the below changes in my config file:
Web.Config:
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="204800" timeout="7200" />
</system.web>
<requestFiltering>
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="209715200" maxQueryString="2097151" maxUrl="10999"/>
</requestFiltering>
But still, I could not upload file which is more than 30MB size. But the same code is working fine to upload file which is below 30 MB.
Any thing that i had missed here?
1.) Open IIS Manager.
2.) Select the website that you want to configure.
3.) Make sure you are in Features View per the button at the bottom of the manager.
4.) Select Requests Filtering and open it by double-clicking the icon. The Request Filtering pane displays.
5.) From the Actions pane on the right hand side of the screen click Edit Feature Settings... link. The Edit Request Filtering Settings window displays.
6.) In the Request Limits section, enter the appropriate Maximum allowed content length (Bytes) and then click the OK button.
Restart IIS.
This worked for me :)
Can you change your web.config to use system.webServer and security?
<configuration>
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="204800" />
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="209715200" />
</requestFiltering>
</security>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Putting in what worked for me.
I had to make two changes:
update web.config with following settings:
<system.webServer>
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="209715200" />
</requestFiltering>
</security>
</system.webServer>
But using just this was not working for me. I had to add another attribute to API Controller to make it work.
[HttpPost]
//[DisableRequestSizeLimit]
[RequestSizeLimit(70_000_000)] //Files sizes upto 70 MB are allowed
My setup was Blazor WebAssembly template with ASP Hosted option. Hope this helps somebody.
I have the following setting in my root web.config:
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="20000000" />
</requestFiltering>
</security>
I am trying to limit the size of POST requests to my pages to 1 KB in my web application. However, I want to do it without changing the above setting. Therefore, in web.config under Views folder, I added the below lines:
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1000"/>
</requestFiltering>
</security>
Which doesn't work, i.e my application still accepts POST requests with a large body. I tried the below settings unsuccessfully:
Using <location> tag (with allowOverride=true)
Timeouts and maxRequestLength attribute
My application still accepts requests with a large POST body (upto 20 MB - as specified in root web.config). Is there any workaround for this? Is it possible to do it programatically? I searched everywhere but couldn't find any examples.
Try this: Add under appSettings
<add key="aspnet:MaxJsonDeserializerMembers" value="1024" />
I defined a WebApi which takes the credetianls from the browser, it works.
After deploying it I have to edit the Authentication on the server from Anonymouns to Windows. I tried to add <authentication mode="Windows"/> to the Web.Config.Release but it doesn't change...
Why? Suggestions?
The .Release.Config file is not a .Config file as such - it's a file that describes how to transform the default Web.Config file into a new Web.Config file for release.
So, you don't simply add nodes to it - you need to specify the modifications you want to make using the defined syntax for this - see https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dd465318(v=vs.100).aspx
In your case, you probably want something like:
...
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Windows" xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" />
</system.web>

This question already has answers here:
IIS7 - The request filtering module is configured to deny a request that exceeds the request content length
(3 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I added a File Upload Control to my website but when I add a large file, I got this error:
The request filtering module is configured to deny a request that exceeds the request content length.
I searched and found a suggested solution was to add this code in the web config
<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" maxRequestLength="512000000"/>
and to edit the IIS application host Config and add this code to it
<maxAllowedContentLength="512000000"/>
I made all of these steps and it did not work. I still cannot upload a file larger than the max size.
If you are using IIS6 you need to set the following in your Web.Config (kilobytes and default is 4096 which is 4 MB):
<system.web>
<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" maxRequestLength="4096000" />
</system.web>
If you are using IIS7 or later (in bytes and default is 30000000 which is almost 30MB):
<system.webServer>
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="4096000000" />
</requestFiltering>
</security>
</system.webServer>
Make sure you don't add these tags if they already exist. Edit the existing ones otherwise.
Are running on dev machine? IIS Express or Cassini?
Any way thet thing is to set up your web.config.
Try this solution:
<httpRuntime
executionTimeout="90"
maxRequestLength="1024000"
useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false"
minFreeThreads="8"
minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4"
appRequestQueueLimit="100"
enableVersionHeader="true"
/>
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/10842/Setting-up-Web-config-to-allow-uploading-of-large
be sure that you add this key under <system.web> and also add a attribute "execution time" as below code:
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="10000"maxRequestLength="10240000"maxQueryStringLength="2097151"/>
I am using file upload controller for uploading documents.Here when I'm using files of size say 30mb I'm getting an error saying
"The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.".
Its not even going to the upload button click event.
File upload controller working fine for files having smaller size.
I'm uinsg VS2005 and C#.
you have to use httpruntime module for that, Use MaxRequestLength Property, in the configuration section of web.config file.
MaxRequestLength Property you may use code like this,
<configuration>
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="31457280" executionTimeout="36000" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
add this to your web config
<configuration>
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="31457280" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
