When upgrading IIS a 800a0001 Request.BinaryRead fails

  • 772

When a IIS was upgraded to IIS 6.0 or higher, large files (specifically larger than 204,800 bytes) uploaded via ASP get the following error:

error '800a0001'

Request.BinaryRead failed

What will fix this error?

iis-6 web-applications

    By default IIS6 limits the file upload side to 204,800 bytes. To increase this maximum size edit the metabase file entry: AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed.

    Set the value to the maximum size you want to allow.

    ex (for a maximum of one gig):

    AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed = "1000000000"
