When you use the send method of the IXMLHTTPRequest object to PUT a large file to a Web server, you receive the following error message: The error occurs on Windows 98 clients, but does not occur on Microsoft Windows 2000 clients. The more memory that a client has, the larger the file that can be sent.

Microsoft is currently investigating the cause of this error.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

NOTE: Because the error occurs on Windows 98 clients that have limited memory, test on a Windows 98 system that has 16 to 32 megabytes (MB) of memory.

1. Create a large document, such as a 60-MB bitmap, on the client.
2. Create or select a virtual folder on your Web server where the client is to PUT the file.
3. Grant write permissions for the virtual folder to the client.
4. In Microsoft Visual Basic version 6.0, create a new Standard EXE project. Form1 is created by default.
5. Add a command button to Form1.
6. Paste the following code in the Click event of the command button:

   On Error GoTo ExitHandler 
   Dim LlFileLength As Long 
   Dim Lvarbin() As Byte 
   Dim LobjXML As Object 
   Dim LstrFileName As String 
   Dim LvarBinData As Variant 
   dim PstrFullfileName as string
   dim PstrTargetURL as string
   
   ' Create the XMLHTTP object and post the data to the server. 
   Set LobjXML = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") 
   PstrFullfileName = "C:\largefile.bmp"
   LlFileLength = FileLen(PstrFullfileName) - 1 
   
   ' Read the file into a byte array. 
   ReDim Lvarbin(LlFileLength) 
   Open PstrFullfileName For Binary As #1 
   Get #1, , Lvarbin 
   Close #1 
   
   ' Convert to variant to PUT. 
   LvarBinData = Lvarbin 
   PstrTargetURL = "Http://Servername/foldername"
   
   ' Put the data to the server, false means synchronous.
   LobjXML.Open "PUT", PstrTargetURL, False 
   
   ' Send the file in. 
   LobjXML.Send LvarBinData 
   Set LobjXML = Nothing 
   
   ExitHandler: 
   If (Err.Number <> 0) Then 
      MsgBox Err.Description 
   End If
   					

7. Set PstrFullfileName as a valid file name on the client, and set PstrTargetURL as a valid URL.
8. Run the project and click the command button.
