Allow the Upload of Large Files with ASP.NET

Example configuration: <configuration> <system.web> <httpRuntime executionTimeout="240" maxRequestLength="16384" useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false" minFreeThreads="8" minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4" appRequestQueueLimit="100" enableVersionHeader="true" /> </system.web> </configuration> This configuration allows the upload of files up to 16 MB.
