TransferEncoding Property

Object: XFRequest
Syntax: XFRequest.TransferEncoding [=TransferEncoding as Long]
Type: Long
Read/Write: Read/Write
Description: The TransferEncoding property allows you to send a chunked transfer-encoded upload request. A chunked file transfer is sent as a series of chunks, each preceded by its own size indicator. A chunked transfer request does not include a content-length header for the whole request.

Chunked transfer-encoding allows XFileEE (when used with FileUpEE on the server) to bypass the upload size limit in IIS 6. IIS 6 does not accept requests larger than 4-GB, and gets the size of a request from the request's content-length header. Since a chunked request does not include a content-length header, IIS 6 will find no reason to reject it, regardless of the request's size. With chunked-transfer encoding, no matter how large the upload, it will not be rejected by IIS 6. When you send a chunked request from XFileEE to FileUpEE, remember to set FileUpEE's TransferEncoding property to 1.
