HI,

in one of my webservices I need to provide a string to the consuming
application that can become really large (depending on user input).
Unfortunately, if the string becomes too long, the following error occurrs:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException was unhandled
 Actor=""
 Lang=""
 Message="System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: There was an
exception running the extensions specified in the config file. --->
System.Web.HttpException: Maximum request length exceeded.
  at System.Web.HttpRequest.GetEntireRawContent()
  at System.Web.HttpRequest.get_InputStream()
  at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapServerProtocol.Initialize()

  at System.Web.Services.Protocols.ServerProtocolFactory.Create(Type type,
HttpContext context, HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response, Boolean&
abortProcessing)"
 Node=""
 Role=""
 Source="System.Web.Services"
 StackTrace:
      at
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall)
      at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String
methodName, Object[] parameters)
     
How can I transport this string anyway - especially as I cannot limit the
string length?

Best wishes,

Peter
