C# WCF localhost The remote server returned an unexpected response: (413) Request Entity Too Large - wcf

Question

I have asp web forms application and wcf service, both localhost. This is config from web application
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
</system.webServer>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IService" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="200" maxStringContentLength="8388608" maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://localhost:63251/Poruka.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IService" contract="localhostPoruka.IPoruka" name="BasicHttp_IService"/>
</client>
This is web config from wcf service

Upload works for smaller size files (for example 30kb), but when I tried something bigger (pdf size 80kb), I got 413 Entity too large error.
I've tried adding messageSize on client and service, but it's not helping. I also addded to applicationHost file this lines
<location path="localhost">
<system.webServer>
<serverRuntime uploadReadAheadSize="2147483647" />
</system.webServer>
</location>
I also tried in IIS manager on default web site->configuration editor->system.webserver/runtime set uploadReadAheadSize.
None of this helped. Is something wrong in my config file or should I set some other property somewhere else? Should I try using wsHttpBinding?

Answer 1

Even though you've defined a binding in the WCF service config file, it doesn't appear that you've actually assigned that binding configuration to a service. In that case, WCF will use the default settings for basicHttpBinding.
Try adding a service endpoint explicitly to the WCF config file, and assigning your binding configuration via the bindingConfiguration attribute on the service <endpoint> element, like this:
<services>
<service name="MyServiceName">
<endpoint address=""
binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IService"
contract="localhostPoruka.IPoruka"
name="BasicHttp_IService"/>
</service>
</services>
This goes in the <system.serviceModel> section of the WCF service config.
