    using WCAT for testing POST request over 32k

    (cross posted to IIS 6.0 -> my apologies)

     I have been using WCAT successfully to load test our IIS 7.0 WCF applications.  Unfortunately it seems to have a limit on the size of the post data that can be sent in a request.  In the scenario file the setting Post=<filename> would always cause an error.  Putting data as an inline string works for short strings.  I created a wcat dll extension to post data and ran into what appears to be a limit on the about of post data accepted by the WCAT client.  I believe it was a 32k limit before the client would crash.

    Does anyone have any experience with testing large post uploads with WCAT (ie 1MB).  Is this a known problem.   Any solutions, suggestions, alternatives is appreciated.
