Question

When I post base64 string over 1.2 mb apache tomcat giving the error: “The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect”
When it is under 1.2 mb it works fine, I receive the data at the server side.

Is there size restriction and how am I going to past this issue? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot 🙂

   $.ajax({ type: 'POST',
        url: 'http://localhost/testServer/image',
        data: {imageData : result} ,
        async: true,
        success: function(data) {

        },
        error: function (xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
           alert(xhr.responseText);
        }
    });

The HTTP specification doesn’t impose a specific size limit for posts. They will usually be limited by either the web server or the programming technology used to process the submission.

In httpd.conf add this line

LimitRequestBody<filesize>

LimitRequestBody Directive specifies the number of bytes from 0 (meaning unlimited) to >2147483647 (2GB) that are allowed in a request body
