To give a background, I am using IIS8 and I have a WCF service that my WinForms client uses for all the work. I also have a webclient which uses the uploadFile and DownloadFile methods. i had this piece of code added to my web config.

<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="51200" executionTimeout="600" />

Everything was working fine when suddenly one day I uploaded a file that was close to 43 MB and it gave me a 404 (Not found) error. I could find some solution on stack overflow and added this other bit of code to the web config as it was IIS7 and later. 

    <system.webServer>
        <security>
            <requestFiltering>
                <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="51200000"></requestLimits>
            </requestFiltering>
        </security>
    </system.webServer>

That solved the problem of the 404 error but now i get the error which says

The request was cancelled. The request was aborted.

I know the problem is because of the httprequest timeout, but I am not able to figure out where i can configure it. The executionTimeout has been set but my process quits after 90 secs which is the default. I have tried the KeepAlive for the request but even that doesnt help.

It would be really helpful if the change could be possibly made on the config and not the client code. Is there a way to do this? Thanks

Did you set the exectionTimeout within the web.config of the wcf service? WCF has a method to set via config for timeout. Here is a link describing in more detail
