The configuration attribute you want is maxSwallowSize. You need to set that to greater than the size of the uploaded file. Clients could handle this better but many don't read the response until the request is fully written. Tomcat limit's maxSwallowSize as a DoS protection measure. Without it, a client could just continue uploading a slow trickle of data and tie up a server thread. For the record, maPostSize applies *only* to requests using application/x-www-form-urlencoded The test provided by the OP uses multipart/form-data. The applicable limits are defined by javax.servlet.annotation.MultipartConfig and the defaults are unlimited. Any call to getPart(), getParameter() and friends will trigger the reading of the request body. Hence, without the call to getParameter() Tomcat doesn't read the request body. With small uploads there is enough network buffering between the client and the server for the client to be able to write the full request so it reads the response. (Tomcat's maxSwallowSize effectively acts as a buffer.) With larger uploads the client fills the buffers before the request is fully written so it never sees the response. Increasing the maxSwallowSize will allow the client to write the full request and then read the response.
