Trap the Maximum request length

Ok, don't think to reply me "check the web.config" or something like that.
I know about it.
The case is I wrote an HttpModule that perform the upload by chuncking the
stream and rebuilding the file in the
specified server location. So I can posts file over and over the standard
4096Kb limits.

The problems is that IIS, despite this, is able to catch that something more
has been passed
under is feet.

So the question is. Is there a way to say IIS, don't bother me? I'm thinking
about some message to be
set in the ISAPI Worker Request .... or an HttpModule (again??) to catch
the error.

Anybody as some other ideas?

Thanks
Giuseppe

You will have to make metabase change in IIS to allow huge request content
to come in. Which will open up your site for more problems like DOS attacks.
