[TomsBlackberry]

Hi all i'm new here. My problem is everytime i try too watch a video on my blackberry via the browser, i keep getting the error HTTP Error 413: Request Enitity Too Large. I've heard this is too do with a maximum KB or something set in the settings? i'm confused.

Is there any way anyone can help me get this fixed?

thankyou.

this is a limit set by the service. If your on a corporate server you may not be able to get a change but maybe possible if you ask.

Bottom line is the file is too big for downloading.


When attempting to browse to a web page using the BlackBerry® Browser, the BlackBerry smartphone user receives the following error message:

HTTP error 413 request entity too large

This indicates that the web page is too large to be accessed.
