WSE 3.0 crashes when ClearHeaders is called

Answer 1

Are you using WSE because you have no choice? That's really the only reason to use it, as it's quite obsolete. Are you unable to use WCF?

Answer 2

I've experienced the same thing. While I was looking into the problem, I came upon this question. I just wanted to share what I've found so far.

What I'm finding on the net is pretty simple. By increasing the maxRequestLength (to a sane amount) in your system.web section of the web.config file you can fix this problem.

I suppose, having done no more research than this, is that your default settings for maxRequestLength will not handle the size of the request being presented when one of your users send a larger JPG to be backed up in your system via your WSE web service.

You may wish to add time to your executionTimeout setting as well.
