Sorry, you're talking about ASP.NET Legacy Web service and not an
ASP.NET WCF Web service.
The link is talking about overriding "maxRequestLength". It's the same
kind of thing you would use to override maxStringContentLength, which an
entry should be made in the Web.config.
What you should do is use Google and find what the max size can be and
set to the max size. In WCF Web service the max size for the property in
2 trillion something as the number that can be given on the override.

MS is leveraging ASP.NET Legacy Web service out of .NET in favor of
ASP.NET WCF Web service in the future.
