On the client side, I have an application for fil

Answer 1

This is the answer! I have searched everywhere the solution to this problem in WCF 4.0, and this entry by Richard Blewett was the final piece of the puzzle.

Key things learned from my research:

• if the exception is thrown by the service, then only change the Server Web.config file; don't worry about the client
• create a custom basicHttpBinding:

• add the larger readerQuota values (largest possible shown here, adjust to taste)

• create a service entry, with an endpoint that maps to the custom binding. The mapping happens when the endpoint's bindingConfiguration is the same as the binding's name:
• Make sure the service name and the contract value are fully qualified - use the namespace, and the name of the class.
