I am using mvc c# and I am trying to upload a file that is 9MB but I keep getting an error that says System.Web.Http.HttpResponseException in mycontroller I am not sure what is causing this error. I have done my research and I found nothing that actually helps I have also edited my web config as shown below but I am not sure if its correct.
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<!--<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1073741824" />-->
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="3000000000" />
