The page was not displayed because the request entity is too large on IIS

Question

I\'m getting the following error while redirecting one page to another web page:

\"the page was not displayed because the request entity is too large.

Answer 1

In my case, the error occurred when downloading a file.

The reason was, that I had a code that explicitely sends an HTTP 413 to the client in an (erroneous) case.

(See here for details).

So be aware of the fact that setting an HTTP response code 413 in your code (or in a library that you are using) also can generate the OP's error message.
