Hi,

you can try using Apache: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Apache_testing

Actually it looks like ZWS uses a GUI configuration interface. To limit how
large HTTP requests can be, you click the "Request Filtering" link in the
global settings page menu and then you configure the maximum POST body size
in bytes. Perhaps someone mistakenly entered a number for kilobytes instead
of bytes. Can someone report what this value is currently set to? Thanks!

Apache apparently limits HTTP requests to 2 GBs by default, but I have
no idea what the default for ZWS is. I can hardly imagine it would be
1 MB though. Perhaps someone has misconfigured it. The config variable
in Apache is called LimitRequestBody, and since ZWS generally imitates
Apache, I imagine it is the same variable. Could someone check the ZWS
configs to see what it is currently set to?
