Home Access Plus - entity is too large (IIS)

[iHaag]

Hi All,

 

We use Home Access Plus as our portal page to allow Network Drives to be accessed from home (using SSL). The issue, however, is if there is a file larger than 2GB we seem to get the following error when the file is attempted to be downloaded:

 

The page was not displayed because the request entity is too large.

 

Are there any schools running HAP+ or IIS that may have found a solution to downloading large files with SSL enabled?

I am running Server 2012 R2 with iis8

Thank you

Trev

 

Attempted fixes: (2)

C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv>appcmd set config "default web site/HAP" -section:requestFiltering -requestLimits.maxAllowedContentLength:104857600 -commitpath:apphost

Setting uploadReadAheadSize in applicationHost.config file on IIS7.5 would resolve your issue in both cases. You can modify this value directly in applicationhost.config.

 

 

Attempted fixes: (1)

1) Select the site under Default Web Site

 

2) Select Configuration Editor

 

3) Within Section Dropdown, select "system.webServer/serverRuntime"

 

4) Enter a higher value for "uploadReadAheadSize" such as 1048576 bytes. Default is 49152 bytes.

 

During client renegotiation process, the request entity body must be preloaded using SSL preload. SSL preload will use the value of the UploadReadAheadSize metabase property, which is used for ISAPI extensions
