Error (HttpWebRequest): Bytes to be written to the stream exceed the Content-Length bytes size specified

Question

I can\'t seem to figure out why I keep getting the following error:

Bytes to be written to the stream exceed the Content-Length bytes size specified.
         


        

Answer 1

There are three possible options

• Fix the ContentLength as described in the answer from @rene

• Don't set the ContentLength, the HttpWebRequest is buffering the data, and sets the ContentLength automatically

• Set the SendChunked property to true, and don't set the ContentLength. The request is send chunk encoded to the webserver. (needs HTTP 1.1 and has to be supported by the webserver)

Code:

...
request.SendChunked = true;
using (Stream writeStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{ ... }
