Request Entity Too Large

[BESadmin]

Q. I am trying to download a video to my Blackberry device and I recieve an error: Request Entity Too Large. How do I correct this issue?

A. By default, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) limits the response size of a single HTTP response to 128K. If you try to fetch anything bigger your application will receive a 413 (Request Entity Too Large) response code. To get around this you must use the BES management console to change the value of the Maximum number of kilobytes per connection field to a higher value, up to 1024K.

Is there any possibility to set it to even higher values then 1024?

Problem

When running an application on the BlackBerry device that uses BlackBerry® Mobile Data System (MDS), the following error message may be displayed:

You have reached the maximum amount of data which can be transferred by the BlackBerry device over a single connection. Contact your system administrator to increase this limit.

For BlackBerry Enterprise Server software version 4.0

1. Open BlackBerry Manager.
2. Right click on the server name and click on Mobile Data Service Properties.
3. In the General tab, under Flow Control, increase the Max KB/Connection value.

Note: The maximum KB/Connection value is 1024.

For BlackBerry Enterprise Server software version 4.1

1. Open BlackBerry Manager.
2. Highlight the server name and click on the Connection Service tab.
3. Click the Edit properties option.
4. In the General property, under Flow Control, increase the Maximum KB/Connection value.

Thanks for the information! Did the developers have memory usage in mind when they thuoght of these limits?

1 Megabyte is not much for a video to say the least
