Actually consumer of this message is a client API which then formats it to be displayed on the browser. So client product sends file to us we then sent the message back Too big ... as part of the API response.

At one point IE had me convinced that if the size of its message was longer than the size of the server provided message, it would override with IE's choice. Something in the neighborhood of 1k seemed to always work to show the server provided messages. Greater than 512 bytes will override IE 6, 7, 8 and Chrome's helpful error messages. In fact, for certain error response codes, only greater than 256 bytes is required for IE to display the server supplied message. Depending on IE version, these values are in the registry keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\ErrorThresholds. It's important to note that certain versions of IE use the value of the Content-Length header, rather than the actual size of the message body. This can cause a difference if the content is gzip'ed, so you must ensure that the gzip'ed content is still large enough.

[us...@httpd] Limiting Request Body suggestion
Apache 2.2 Requirement I am working on is to block the request body if it is greatar than certain size. I can do this easily with LimitRequestBody directive in virtual hosts but the problem comes when I want to send customized message to the user instead of returning non 200 http code. Can someone suggest what would be the best options? I am thinking I could also take the code of mod limit and modify it. Do you think that's advisable? Is there any other better option that also scales. - The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project. See URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html for more info.
