.ASHX uploads: The end to file size limitation

So you’ve got a great app that uses an ASP Handler to upload images via a HTTPContext Request.  It’s great, it’s fast but it’s limited by .NET’s assumption that all files on the internet should be less than 4 Mb.  Well the answer lies in the web.config.  A short entry will change the world.

Add this to the <system.web> section.

  <httpRuntime executionTimeout="240" maxRequestLength="10000" />
