Request filtering module is configured to deny a request that exceeds the request content length Issue

Today i am working on a module that upload video files into system and when i try to upload a file that size exceeds 30000000 Bytes which is around 28.6 MB it gives me Request filtering module is configured to deny a request that exceeds the request content length error.


















The problem is IIS 7 or greater have default allowed value of 30000000 Byte.

Solution
To exceed this limit in web.config set maxAllowedContentLength property like this
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
   <security>
    <requestFiltering>
     <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="104857600"/>
    </requestFiltering>
   </security>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

This will set this limit to 100 MB
