Fix: HTTP Error 413: Request Entity Too Large on Blackberry

June 23, 2009 — Julie

I was attempting to load a rather large web page on my Blackberry today, and received  the following error:

 HTTP Error 413: Request Entity Too Large on Blackberry
 
Here’s how I fixed it.
 
  1. Open Blackberry Manager, selected the affected Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES).
  2. Highlight servername_MDS-CS_1
  3. Select the Connections Tab and click Edit Properties > General > Flow Control
  4. Increase the KB/Connection setting (maximum is 1024, or 1MB)
  5. Restart the Blackberry MDS Connection Service
 
I was then able to view the large web page on my Blackberry.

    While it is true that fixes the majority of cases, you’ll still get some 413 errors with that 1024 setting.

    Opera Mini seems to work well in those edge cases, but it’s not for everyone, as it doesn’t do truly secure SSL.

    Finally got to the right person at Verizon and I downloaded the browser Opera Mini. It’s a little klunky but I was able to access a web site that I could not access with the Blackberry browser and a lot of work with two Verizon techs.
