Message

HTTP Web Server: Invalid POST Request Exception

Synopsis

Normally seen when posting a form to the Dominon server with a large attachment that exceeds the maximum limit specified by the server document.

Solutions

Most probably that you are trying to post a document that is larger than the "Maximum POST data" setting in the Domino Web Engine section of the server document.

Set the Maximum post size to 0 in the server document and there's no limit on file size!

From the Quickplace Forum:

1. Go to Basics tab in server document and make sure that Optimize HTTP performance based on the following primary activity is set to Advanced (Custom Settings).

2. Next go to Internet Protocol Tab and Domino Web Engine and under post data change the default setting of 0 which actually means 32MB to the value you want in Bytes NOT KBytes as it suggests.

I have made this change to the Domino Server config and have successfully uploaded a 250 Mb file

I am getting the same error messages popping up in the log consistently everyday. The document that's being posted does not have any attachments. It is an html page that has a hardcoded HTML form that posts a couple of hidden text fields and a search text box.

Since the possibility of too much information coming through is out of the picture (unless someone is maliciously submitting data). The only other thing I can think of is that the content being sent is less than the specified amount in the content size field of the header.

If that's the case, then a whole sleu of possibilities open up. What if the transmission of data is interupted? What if someone hits submit before the last submit has completed? what if someone's browser is sending extra information that causes the content to be more or less that content size field?

our system was running well, but we faced the same problem once.

it was in submit code:

function fSaveAndClose(unid) {

document.forms[0].submit();

document.location.href = "0/"+unid+"?OpenDocument";

}

just delete "document.location.href =..."

sorry for my english

Hy guys,

I've got IIS working with Domino and it works beautifully....until Session authentication (huhahaha -dark and sinister laugh).

Domino thru IIS: With normal authentication it works, with ssl and normal authentication it works, on the domino server exclusively everything works fine, even session authentication.

On Domino thru IIS I've got always the same error when it comes to session authentication.

IIS 6

Domino 7.0.2FP2

"Most probably that you are trying to post a document that is larger than the "Maximum POST data" setting in the Domino Web Engine section of the server document.

Set the Maximum post size to 0 in the server document and there's no limit on file size!" can you please tell me exactly, step by step, how this is accomplished with my Samsung S3 phone?
