Is there any way to make some sections of the web.config file only apply to a single file (or directory, or a group of files, etc.)
Basically I would like to apply the following thing only to a single page in the application, the rest should use the default settings: (it limits the upload size to 32M)
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="32768" executionTimeout="360"/>
</system.web>
The point is that I only want that particular page to accept large files.
You can use:
<location path="UploadPage.aspx">
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="33554432" executionTimeout="360" />
</system.web>
</location>
More info here.
You can place a web.config file on any directory of your web application, what you define there will only work for that directory and bellow
Yea use the <location path="..."> element to achieve this. The path might point to a directory as well as a file. You will need to set allowDefinition="everywhere".
You can also try it with the <location> tag, however I'm not sure you can use it with <httpRuntime>.
