wcf service the remote server returned an error (400) bad request

I have a windows application that calls WCF service. I'm getting 400 Bad Request error in some clients.(Some clients I don't get error.) I increased maxReceivedMessageSize but it didn't work.
I increased maxReceivedMessageSize and other parameters.
Client Side app.config:

How does the client generate the configuration file? Which way you use to call the service, adding service reference or ChannelFactory?
The wshttpbinding configuration does not well applied in the wshttpbinding, since we use the protocol mapping to host the service without using Bindingconfiguration property.
<protocolMapping>
<add binding="wsHttpBinding" scheme="http"/>
</protocolMapping>
Therefore, the default Clientcredentialtype is windows credential, and the security mode is message by default.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/configure-apps/file-schema/wcf/security-of-wshttpbinding
We need to explicitly provide the windows credential on the client side.
ServiceReference1.Service1Client client = new ServiceReference1.Service1Client();
client.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential.UserName = "administrator";
client.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential.Password = "abcd1234!";
In order to test this, please do not use Fiddler, and call it from another computer in Console application by using add service reference.
Feel free to let me know if the problem still exists.

It was a network issue. After update switch, the problem has been solved.

(400) Bad Request when transferring large files

I have the same problem when trying to transfer files larger than 50kb the error message is "(400) Bad Request"
Can someone tell me where I'm wrong?

Transferring 5 megabytes file using wcf

I am trying to use wcf for transferring a file larger then 5 mega.(i cant use streeaming for now it demands major changes to running code).
I configured the server and the client to the maximum settings and still i get the exception of maximum length.
Here is my server web.config:
<system.serviceModel>

My trace Logging is:
Maximum request length exceeded.
System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException, System.ServiceModel,
Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089`
Any thoughts?

You are not resetting the default 4MB limit properly.
Try this: http://smehrozalam.wordpress.com/2009/01/29/retrieving-huge-amount-of-data-from-wcf-service-in-silverlight-application/

Set maxRequestLength in httpRuntime section in Web.config
HttpRuntime configuration element

You'll need to increase the max request length by changing the following setting in web.config
<configuration>
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="32768" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
The value is in KB.

You can use tracing to get more details about your problem and fix it or give use exact error message.

WCF communication problem

In my WCF application I receive an image in base64String format along with some other images..
In order to test my application I have created a small .aspx page which will
send firstname, last name and base64string(image:size 10Kb) to the WCF Sevice.
I am getting the error
"The formatter threw an exception while trying to deserialize the message:
Error in deserializing body of request message for operation 'SaveData'.
The maximum string content length quota (8192) has been exceeded while reading XML data.
This quota may be increased by changing the MaxStringContentLength property on the
XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas object used when creating the XML reader. Line 1, position 15301."
If I send the strings without the base64string(image) i was able to debug the wcf Service code.
But if I add the base64String I am getting this error.
I have increased all binding values("maxReceivedMessageSize") and other values to maximum.
Still I am getting this error. Here is my web.config for client and Service.
Thanks and I really appreciate your help.

As you can see parameters of binding are not the same
Any ideas ?

Binding parameters such as the buffer size do not automatically propagate from server to client when you create a service reference. You will have to adjust hem manually on the client side as well.
Was that the question? It's a little unclear to me what the problem is exactly.

I think Thorarin is right, some information can't be propagated to client from server.
