Unable to send a 48681 bytes message to secure wcf service from java

Question

I have to call a secure WCF service from java using mutual authentication. Everything works fine except I\'m unable to send messages which are greater than 48680 bytes in size.

Answer 1

You asked, what could be the problem, here some suggestion:

• the size of your request. That is basically you assumption, if I understand it right.
• the structure of your request.
• a server side policy, like request have to be smaller than 48681 bytes. In a comment you tell us that you are using an external server, not under your control
• a server side bug. Remember the not under your control part and read it as buggy.
• a race condition.

I would suggest to try a wider range of request. Do not only vary the size.
