MaxRequestEntityAllowed
The MaxRequestEntityAllowed property specifies the maximum number of bytes allowed in the entity body of a request. If a Content-Length header is present and specifies an amount of data greater than the value of MaxRequestEntityAllowed, IIS sends a 403 error response.
The metabase represents unlimited as the DWORD value of 4294967295 (0xFFFFFFFF); however, VBScript represents unlimited in hexadecimal format as &HFFFFFFFF. Previous versions of IIS represented unlimited as -1.
