SYMPTOMS
When you post a large form field in Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.0, you may receive the following error message:

Error Type:

Request object, ASP 0107 (0x80004005)

The data being processed is over the allowed limit.

When you post a large form field in Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0, you may receive the following error message:

Request object error 'ASP 0107 : 80004005'

Stack Overflow

/projectname/page.asp, line XX

The data being processed is over the allowed limit.



CAUSE
The size limit of each form field that is retrieved in the Request object is 102,399 bytes. The error occurs when you exceed this limit.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods:  Instead of reading form variable values with the Request.Form collection, use Request.BinaryRead (Request.TotalBytes), and parse the form values from the output of Request.BinaryRead. Use a File Upload scheme, such as Microsoft Posting Acceptor.  Break the HTML form variables into multiple form variables before you submit the form. The 102,399 byte limit is for each form variable, so you can have multiple form variables of 102,399 characters or less. The following sample code illustrates this: WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

A bunch of text... 

 function BreakItUp { //Set the limit for field size. var FormLimit = 102399

//Get the value of the large input object. var TempVar = new String TempVar = document.theForm.BigTextArea.value

//If the length of the object is greater than the limit, break it //into multiple objects. if (TempVar.length > FormLimit) {   document.theForm.BigTextArea.value = TempVar.substr(0, FormLimit) TempVar = TempVar.substr(FormLimit)

while (TempVar.length > 0) {     var objTEXTAREA = document.createElement(&quot;TEXTAREA&quot;) objTEXTAREA.name = &quot;BigTextArea&quot; objTEXTAREA.value = TempVar.substr(0, FormLimit) document.theForm.appendChild(objTEXTAREA) TempVar = TempVar.substr(FormLimit) } } }  The receiving Active Server Page (ASP) page reconstructs the variable: <% Dim BigTextArea

For I = 1 To Request.Form(&quot;BigTextArea&quot;).Count BigTextArea = BigTextArea & Request.Form(&quot;BigTextArea&quot;)(I) Next %>                       </li></ul>
