The connection was reset

[davebat]

I have used a payment provider to accept payments, its all working fine but on my dev server I get an error.

The provideer returns to my site with a large querystring (around 650 characters) this causes in firefox the followign error:

The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

I can remove some querystrimng values and the page loads ok, is there an iis setting I need to change? I have full access to the server whiocgh is windows 2003 running iis 7

"windows 2003 running iis 7"
What?No.
Also have a look:

What are you running on your Dev Machine? Are you debugging out of Visual Studio, or a local IIS, or IIS Express?

Thanks saptor, Ive seen that link already but couldnt see where to change these settings on my server.

Incidentally what does "windows 2003 running iis 7" What?No. mean?

Hi Gary, im not debugging, just ruinning the site on the server normally

[davebat]

lol was that a freudian slip "just ruinning the site"

I took this as a question as to whether you can actually run IIS 7 on Windows Server 2003. I was actually questioning this as well.

Cool, cool, just checking.

[davebat]

makes sense, your'e right its iis 6

[gep13]

Ah, gotcha.

Right, now we are on the same page again...

I take it you are still having issues? Correct?

Gary

[davebat]

Yeah, I cant get any info on how to chnage the request limits. Basically if the querystring is too big for any site on this server I get the error

[gep13]

Am I not right in saying that this is something that you can't change in IIS 6? The only way around it would be to use a post, rather than a get.

Shudder! You might actually need to configure this in the IIS MetaData Table, but that is even scarier!

Gary

[davebat]

Hmmm, thanks for the suggestions both of you. As Im no iis/server expert I dont really want to mess with registry values. Ill test ona different server for now and look at getting our dev server to match the live one.

Cheers Dave

Sounds like a plan.

Let us know how you get on, and whether you have any follow up questions.
