Connection Interrupted

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

These errors are not the real problem. The real problem is that in the server doc. Under Internet Protocols... tab, HTTP tab, HTTP Protocol Limits heading, Maximum size of request content field the number is set to low, most likely the default of 10000 kilobytes. This is the maximum allowable POST size, including all fields and file attachments.

File attachments are BASE64 encoded, which means every three bytes becomes four bytes. A 9mg file becomes 12mg which is now too large for you allowable POST size. Set the field to 0 for unlimited file sizes, larger for you maximum files size or if you have multiple file attachments, use a form in an iframe to upload your files one at a time to a temporary document. Once your form is submitted, copy the files to your document and delete the documents. Or you could make the file upload documents child documents of your form.
