ReadAsMultipartAsync Throws System.ArgumentException-Collection of common programming errors
I have tried searching on here and Google for an answer to this but have yet to find one. I am using what I have found to be fairly standard for .NET 4.0 upload to Web API service. Here is the code:
public HttpResponseMessage Post()
{
if (!Request.Content.IsMimeMultipartContent())
{
throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.UnsupportedMediaType);
}
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
string root = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data");
var provider = new MyMultipartFormDataStreamProvider(root);
var task = Request.Content.ReadAsMultipartAsync(provider).ContinueWith(t =>
{
if (t.IsFaulted || t.IsCanceled)
{
Request.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError, t.Exception);
}
// This will give me the form field data
foreach (var key in provider.FormData.AllKeys)
{
foreach (var val in provider.FormData.GetValues(key))
{
sb.Append(string.Format("{0}: {1}", key, val));
}
}
// This will give me any file upload data
foreach (MultipartFileData file in provider.FileData)
{
sb.Append(file.Headers.ContentDisposition.FileName);
sb.Append("Server file path: " + file.LocalFileName);
}
return new HttpResponseMessage()
{
Content = new StringContent(sb.ToString())
};
});
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK);
}
When I create a very basic form with a input type=file and submit it I am getting an exception thrown for files over about 800Kb. Here is the exception:
System.ArgumentException was unhandled by user code
HResult=-2147024809
Message=Value does not fall within the expected range.

InnerException:
I check the App_Data folder and I see part of the file there. This small part is not always the same size either, like maybe it cuts off at a certain size.
I have adjusted both the maxRequestLength
and the maxAllowedContentLength
to large numbers with no success.
What does this message mean and what should I be looking at to fix it?
Thanks.
