When my .NET program makes a Web Service call I get this response...

System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 413:
Request Entity Too Large

1. The server the Web Service is running on is *not* MS IIS
2. The problem does *not* occur if my .NET program and non-IIS server
are running on the same machine.
3. Using a TCP monitoring tool I have confirmed that the exception
occurs *before* the request is actually sent out from my .NET program.

Any ideas?

Hmm, it sounds strange that the problem does not occur when client & server
run on the same box.

can you try to upload the soap request using a non dotnet client from a
different machine than the server, and see if it reproes.

Going by your assertion that the response is sent even before the client
sends the request ( I am assuming here that even before the request headers
are sent, the server has responded) , it seems to me like a server issue.
What server is this ?

Feroze,

Thanks for the response.

I think I should clarify something. In my original post I said "I get
this response", however, the use of the word "response" is a poor
choice. I do not get a SOAP response as my use of words suggested.

I get a WebException that is thrown from within my .NET client
application before the SOAP request is sent across the wire to the
server. I verified this by watching the wire using the TCP monitoring
tool I mentioned. The monitoring tool shows nothing going to or coming
from the server, which tells me my .NET client application didn't
actually get far enough to make the call.

Hypothetically, I should be able to shutdown my server altogether and
get this error. Since the Web Service call is never actually made. I
will try this tomorrow.

Sure. I will try tomorrow.

> What server is this ?

JBoss Application Server running Apache.

Here is a post from someone a couple of years ago having the same
problem...

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Follow Up -

I have verified that...

1. this problem does not occur when using a non .NET client

2. the WebException still occurs when my server is shutdown. Which
further shows that the exception occurs *before* my .NET client sends
the call across the wire, suggesting the exception comes from *within*
my .NET client

Help?

Thanks.

Can you get a sniff and share what the request/response look like ? They
should be from before the exception occured.

It still seems like a server issue to me., but I cant say for sure unless I
see a sniff.
