Does anyone know if there is a maximum file size limit that the HTTP protocol applies or that IIS applies by default when doing a file upload? I have a site where clients upload video files. Some of these video files can be up to 100MB. The site is written in PHP and CGI (perl, yuck!). I have set IIS's CGI timeout setting to well over an hour, however, I get the good ol "The page cannot be displayed" message whenever I try to upload a file over 25MBs. The error message appears within 30 seconds of the upload. When I upload a file of 25MBs, it takes roughly 15 minutes to upload the file, but it does upload successfully. So, why will a 25MB file upload with no problem but yet a 40MB file times out after 30 seconds?
The form that passes the video to the server is PHP. Also, in the PHP script, I am using the "set_time_limit(0)" command, similar to CF's "requesttimeout". The file that handles the upload itself is CGI. I couldn't find a command in cgi to set the timeout limit, so I set it in IIS. I know this is off topic, but I was hoping someone may have an idea about file uploads of this size. All of the file uploading I have done in the past have never gone over a few MBs.
