title: POST base64 data in a URL
body: <p>My developer is trying to POST an image to his web service like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://consec.dev.domain.com/Services/ActivityService.svc/SubmitImage?userId=8D428BF6-51F0-43F6-947D-7E19A6A7F4BD&amp;fileName=feels-bad.png&amp;fileContent=iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUAAAAFCAYAAACNbyblAAAAHElEQVQI12P4//8/w38GIAXDIBKE0DHxgljNBAAO9TXL0Y4OHwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this is a base64 encoded image (this one happens to be a red dot but the images we will be using are much larger)</p>
  
  <p>When he tries to POST it he gets a:</p>
  
  <pre><code>HTTP Error 414. The request URL is too long.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>He tells me its because my IIS configuration is wrong. I'm telling him its it code. Can someone shed some light on this or point us in a direction to begin finding some answers? thank you</p>
