The problem: by default classic ASP developers face a 200kB (200000 Bytes) upload limit in IIS Express. Unlike in IIS5-11, IIS Express has no GUI-way to configure this value.

IIS Express is available as a development-host in various MicroSoft IDE's like Visual Code and Visual Studio. I use it in Webmatrix, an IDE that MicroSoft decided to stop developing some years ago, but still available on my 7 year old laptop.

The solution: change the ASP limits for maxRequestEntityAllowed in
C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config

Search for "<asp ". Change the entry to:

The maximum value for is maxRequestEntityAllowed  is 2147483647 (integer / 2GB). But in my experience the real upload limitation in classic ASP is 100MB approximately. When uploading larger files, I get a "Microsoft Cursor Engine error '8007000e' - out of memory"-error.

Not only will this enable uploading larger files. It will also allow to submit large datasets to urls (in an ajax call for instance).
