Question

My code crashes with this exception:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.ServiceModel.ProtocolException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: The remote server returned an unexpected response: (413) Request Entity Too Large.
This is my web.config file:

And this is my client app.config file:

</endpoint>
</client>

</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
What am i not seeing?
Thanks in advance for your help.

One problem is that you never assign the binding you defined in your service config to the endpoint, so the service will use the default values for wsHttpBinding. Try assigning the "SafeServiceConf" binding configuration to your endpoint via the bindingConfiguration attribute:
<endpoint address="wsHttp"
binding="wsHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="SafeServiceConf"
contract="WcfService1.IService1" />
The service will then use the values you specified rather than the default values.
