I have set the MaxPostSize parameter within the WLS Apache plugin. I am assuming this causes the 413 to return. Interestingly, i saw different behaviours with different file sizes. I have the limit set at 10k. When i attempt to upload a 15k file, i see the following error returned to the browser: Failure of server APACHE bridge: Your file size is too large to upload. Build date/time: Dec 13 2006 10:09:29 Change Number: 871803 But if i attempt to upload a much larger file, say 600MB, i get a different response in the browser: The connection was reset The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
