ASP.NET Core 3.0 上 WebAPI 响应的最大长度

Question

One of my controller's action returns huge collection in JSON response and when I make a request toward this controller WebAPI don't return a response. So I have tested this action using breakpoint and collection is filled normally. At the end I am sure that this is a problem of WebApi since I have tested this controller's action through several clients(WPF and Postman) and each one just hangs on waiting for a response. I think that the obstacle is the response size of my WebAPI. My WebAPI runs on IIS Express

So I have two questions:

1). What is the maximal size length of WebAPI response on ASP.NET Core 3.0?
2). How to increase maximal size length of WebAPI response on ASP.NET Core 3.0?

Answer 1

According to documentation. Deafult Response buffer size is 64KB. Take a look here

You can change it like:

    public static IWebHostBuilder CreateWebHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
      WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args).ConfigureKestrel(x => x.Limits.MaxResponseBufferSize = yourSize)
          .UseStartup<Startup>();

Answer 2

I came here looking for a solution to the same problem, but for me it was not resolved by changing the MaxResponseBufferSize.

As it turned out, it seems that Postman also returns this same error, as the maximum size can be configured, and the default is 50Mb.

In the Postman application, you can go to settings, and configure this to be 0 (unlimited), or whatever value you need.
