[thredds] code 403 - Request too big [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hi,

I get this message in the browser after clicking on 'Get ASCII'
for large files (>200MB) from Thredds

Error {
    code = 403;
    message = "Request too big=258.0 Mbytes, max=50.0";
};

I use Thredds 4.0.09, Tomcat 6.0.14 and Java "1.6.0_07",
on a Linux machine with 2GB RAM.

Setting JAVA_OPTS  to "-server -Xmx1024m -Xms256m",
as recommended in the performance tips, while confirmed by
the Tomcat status link, does not seem to have any influence, neither
does the version of the NetCDF file (3 or 4).

Can the maximum request size be set in a config file? Where?
Can Thredds be made to reliably serve more than 50MB
at a time? Has anyone else encountered this?


Thanks in advance,
Fanel
