Like others, I have notices that I can't seem to post more than a ~2 MB
string of data to my Webservice. If I try to post more than that, I get a
500 return code. (I'm POST'ing image files in BASE64 format).

I tried this article but it seemed to break everything -- even small files
couldn't be posted:

This writer gave up and wrote a chunk based POST'ing routine:

Has anyone else had success with this?

TIA

Harry

I also have struggled without success on this problem. (In my case, I've
tried to upload a 25 MB Access database file to my web server).

I've received two suggestions, both of which were also broken. I've found
numerous FTP solutions for .Net, all of which were also broken.

Why should this be such a difficult problem for .Net?

I found a very cool FTP solution which worked very well for me.

If you can FTP to your web server, perhaps you could use FTP to upload some
large file or chunk of data, and then deal with it as a local file in your
web service.

The FTP class is at:

Good luck!
