maxAllowedContentLength override

I have the following setting in my root web.config:

<security>
  <requestFiltering>
    <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="20000000" />
  </requestFiltering>
</security>

I am trying to limit the size of POST requests to my pages to 1 KB in my web application. However, I want to do it without changing the above setting. Therefore, in web.config under Views folder, I added the below lines:

<security>
  <requestFiltering>
    <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1000"/>
  </requestFiltering>
</security>

Which doesn't work, i.e my application still accepts POST requests with a large body. I tried the below settings unsuccessfully:

  1. Using <location> tag (with allowOverride=true)
  2. Timeouts and maxRequestLength attribute

My application still accepts requests with a large POST body (upto 20 MB - as specified in root web.config). Is there any workaround for this? Is it possible to do it programatically? I searched everywhere but couldn't find any examples.

Try this: Add under appSettings

<add key="aspnet:MaxJsonDeserializerMembers" value="1024" />
