HTTP Server.
Technical
By default, the request XMLalso contains a CDATAsection which contains the raw input data,
effectively doubling the size of the incoming file. Due to technical restrictions, the incoming XMLfile
cannot be more than 400MB, which because of CDATA is reduced to around 200MB. To help in this
situation, you may elect to omit CDATA from the attachment in this dialog. Please note that this
limitation also affects incoming binary files (sent through file upload in a form), regardless of CDATA
settings.
