WCF

This has been frustrating me for ages!

I have a WCF service in my web app.

I have a test that sends a large amount of data to it in a single request (about 2500 Bytes of 'person' details from my random name generator)

I get slapped with
The remote server returned an error: (413) Request Entity Too Large.

Ok - I get that it's pretty big. So I changed my binding settings:

web.config:

<system.serviceModel>
    <services>
      <service name="fw.Services.AServiceAccess">
        <host>
          <baseAddresses>
            <add baseAddress="https://www.fw.codep.co.uk/Services/AServiceAccess.svc" />
          </baseAddresses>
        </host>
        <endpoint address="" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="fw.Services.IAServiceAccess">
          <identity>
            <dns value="www.fw.codep.co.uk" />
          </identity>
        </endpoint>
        <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
      </service>
    </services>
    <bindings>
      <basicHttpsBinding>
        <binding name="mexHttpsBinding" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" messageEncoding="Text">
          <readerQuotas maxDepth="2000000" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
          <security mode="Transport">
            <transport clientCredentialType="None" />
          </security>
        </binding>
      </basicHttpsBinding>
    </bindings>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
  </system.serviceModel>

and even the app.config of my unit test project:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
      <wsHttpBinding>
        <binding name="MetadataExchangeHttpsBinding_IAServiceAccess" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" messageEncoding="Text">
          <readerQuotas maxDepth="2000000" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
          <security mode="Transport">
            <transport clientCredentialType="None" />
          </security>
        </binding>
      </wsHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
      <endpoint address="https://www.fw.codep.co.uk/Services/AServiceAccess.svc"
          binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="MetadataExchangeHttpsBinding_IAServiceAccess"
          contract="AServiceAccessService.IAServiceAccess"
          name="MetadataExchangeHttpsBinding_IAServiceAccess">
        <identity>
          <dns value="www.fw.codep.co.uk" />
        </identity>
      </endpoint>
    </client>
  </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

Still same error >_<<br mode="hold" />
What's going wrong?


Thanks
