upload timeout err: Request timed out after 30000 seconds

Question

User890522732 posted

hello all -

first off i just want to say im not great at sysadmin so asking for your patience

im running the current version of iis

and using a asp.net core 3.1 web app to upload files via dropzone.js

uploading small files are fine 

but when i want to upload larger files that take a while 

i get the following err: "Request timed out after 30000 seconds"

now 

• - im assuming its meaning 30000 microseconds bc i timed it the upload fail and it was actually 30 seconds
• - i followed this excellent post i found which i posted below and therefore i changed my program.cs as well as my web.config to reflect the posts suggestions
• - i also checked my connection timeout in iis and its set to the default of 120s which is still greater than 30s
• - just to be safe i also updated my web.config with this:

        <requestFiltering>
          <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="100485760"></requestLimits>
        </requestFiltering>

Timeouts with long running ASP.NET MVC Core Controller HTTPPost Method

however - no love

anyone have any suggestions?

Hi playwithtoy,

Did you put timeout in the dropzone.js?

timeout: 180000,

This will not cause the 30 seconds timeout when uploading file with dropzone.js.

 

You can also insert 0 as timeout to disable the timeout as dropzone.js documentation reports.

Best regards,

Brucz

this is embarassing - this is indeed a dropzone issue not iis
