My WCF Service has an OperationContract that accepts, as a parameter, an array of objects. This can potentially be quite large. After looking for fixes for Bad Request: 400, I found the real reason: the maximum message size.

I know this question has been asked before in MANY places. I've tried what everyone says: "Increase the sizes in the client and server config files." I have. It still doesn't work.

My Service's web.config:

<system.serviceModel>
    <services>
      <service name="myService">
        <endpoint name="myEndpoint" address=""
                  binding="basicHttpBinding"
                  bindingConfiguration="myBinding"
                  contract="Meisel.WCF.PDFDocs.IPDFDocsService" />
      </service>
    </services>
    <bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="myBinding"
                 closeTimeout="00:11:00"
                 openTimeout="00:11:00"
                 receiveTimeout="00:15:00"
                 sendTimeout="00:15:00"
                 maxBufferSize="2147483647"
                 maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647"
                 maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647"
                 transferMode="Buffered"
                 allowCookies="false"
                 bypassProxyOnLocal="false"
                 hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
                 messageEncoding="Text"
                 textEncoding="utf-8"
                 useDefaultWebProxy="true">
          <readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647"
                        maxStringContentLength="2147483647"
                        maxArrayLength="2147483647"
                        maxBytesPerRead="2147483647"
                        maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
          <security mode="None" />
        </binding>
      </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior>
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
          <dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
  </system.serviceModel>

My Client's app.config:

<system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IPDFDocsService"
                 closeTimeout="00:11:00"
                 openTimeout="00:11:00"
                 receiveTimeout="00:10:00"
                 sendTimeout="00:11:00"
                 allowCookies="false"
                 bypassProxyOnLocal="false"
                 hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
                 maxBufferSize="2147483647"
                 maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647"
                 maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647"
                 messageEncoding="Text"
                 textEncoding="utf-8"
                 transferMode="Buffered"
                 useDefaultWebProxy="true">
          <readerQuotas maxDepth="32"
                        maxStringContentLength="2147483647"
                        maxArrayLength="2147483647"
                        maxBytesPerRead="2147483647"
                        maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
          <security mode="None">
            <transport clientCredentialType="None"
                       proxyCredentialType="None"
                       realm="" />
            <message clientCredentialType="UserName"
                     algorithmSuite="Default" />
          </security>
        </binding>
      </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
      <endpoint address="http://localhost:8451/PDFDocsService.svc"
                behaviorConfiguration="MoreItemsInObjectGraph"
                binding="basicHttpBinding"
                bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IPDFDocsService"
                contract="PDFDocsService.IPDFDocsService"
                name="BasicHttpBinding_IPDFDocsService" />
    </client>
    <behaviors>
      <endpointBehaviors>
        <behavior name="MoreItemsInObjectGraph">
          <dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647" />
        </behavior>
      </endpointBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
  </system.serviceModel>

What can I possibly be missing or doing wrong? It's as though the service is ignoring what I typed in the maxReceivedBufferSize.

Thanks in advance, Kyle
