Thanks Charlie,
Yes we work together, I tried that workaround even though it wouldn't work in our environment. However it didn't fix it.

First, though, do you and Dale work together? :-) I just ask because it was him I was replying to, so want to avoid confusion. But if you guys are simply working together on this, great. Two heads are often better than one. And when you add the list as well, well, you have a hydra but hopefully also a good mind-meld. And as you've learned, sometimes google-fu is not so strong, but sometimes the list can help where it cannot. And in fact, here's one such possibility. I just happened to observe a conversation on another list with an Adobe engineer who was helping someone with a problem that is similar, though not the same, of sending xml packets to CF 10 (as a post, not as a web service call) and having similar-sounding troubles ("ColdFusion then becomes completely non-responsive, returning Service Unavailable on any subsequent requests. Only a restart of IIS (no need to restart ColdFusion) will bring everything back up.") More at: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug <https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3222748> &id=3222748 Anyway, though the engineer has not yet added his observation to the bug report, he said on the list (a private one, which I feel safe sharing here): "From our initial investigation, it looks like something is getting messed up between the tomcat connector and the web server in the webservice request when POST size is exceeding a certain limit. We found a temporary workaround which prevents this - and that is enable 'cache web server path' setting in the admin. I know the workaround sounds completely unrelated but it is indeed the case. We also understand that workaround might not be acceptable if you have multiple websites and would like to assure you that we are working on it" You may want to consider that, Gavin and Dale. For more on the cache web server path feature, see the CF Admin and Config docs. As he notes, it's not going to be right for everyone, but if it works, it's a workaround until Adobe solves that problem, and if it works for you, then you may want to add a note/vote to the bug indicating that the problem is bigger than just http posts. :-) Hope that's helpful. /charlie From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gavin Baumanis Sent: Friday, August 17, 2012 3:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [cfaussie] Web Services Problem Hi Charlie, I have no idea why - but what ends up doing is stopping the associated application pool and then you subsequently get 503 errors - service unavailable. Works on an earlier version of IIS (6.0) - but simply doesn't with 7.5 We have been "Googling" / playing on and off all day. We've seen mention of increasing http request limits - which we tried but didn't alter the situation for us. We even tried uninstalling the request filtering option altogether - again with no change in behaviour. As far as technical challenges go - it seems to be a good one. We're all pretty surprised that Google doesn't seem to have our issue in its results either. Surely we can't be the first people to attempt to send large amounts of data using Windows Server 2008 / IIS 7 - can we? Gavin.

Since you're replying to my note, I hope some of the suggestions there were helpful in leading you to that conclusion. Since you said in a couple of notes of the thread that you didn't think it was IIS, it took some persuading to get you there. :-) As for it crashing services, do you mean to say that if you invoke the web service (the one mentioned Wednesday, not the "test.cfc" he mentioned in the other thread today) and you pass it a 30k string, the server needs rebooting? That would be stunning. So to be clear, which "services" are you saying "crash"? CF10? IIS? If CF10, anything in the coldfusion-out.log or coldfusion-error.log, in [cf10]\cfusion\log\ or [cf10]\[instance]\log\? If IIS, anything in the Windows event logs? /charlie From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dale Fraser Sent: Friday, August 17, 2012 1:47 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [cfaussie] Web Services Problem Managed to isolate this to an IIS settings, works fine with CF direct to tomcat. Now need to work out why. Not only doesn't it work, it crashes services and the server needs rebooting.
