Sametime and large whiteboard files
Tags :Sametime
As you start using Sametime for more and more
meetings, all the sudden sales wants to use it for everything. Well
the whiteboard becomes a mainstay for them to show their slides and then
draw like little kids at a Crayola party. Unfortunately, most of them do
not understand compressing screenshots in gif images, they just paste the
bitmap ones right in don't they? The next call you get is a nondescript
error from their browser as they attempt to attach these files to the Whiteboard.
Netscape at least gives you a nice HTTP
error code of 500. Microsoft Exploder only throws a Cannot find
server or DNS error out for some reason. But to make it short,
here is why when you are running on Domino 6:
Sametime 3.1 and later
releases run on a Domino 6 server. Domino 6 introduced two new fields
that can affect this:
1. In the Server document > Internet Protocols tab > Domino Web Engine tab > POST Data section > Maximum POST data (in kilobytes) field.
2. In the Server document > Internet
Protocols tab > HTTP tab > HTTP Protocol Limits > Maximum size
of request field.
Change the values of these fields accordingly.
Entering 0 in each of these fields allows unlimited size.
I would never recommend setting the value
to zero, that is just asking for trouble in ways that no one has even dreamed
up in error code land.
