Its an old post but i just solved it and i write how here:

The uploadReadAheadSize flag isnt in the config file (at leat not mine) by default. Though it has and default value of 49152. (read link below)

http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/serverruntime

" The value must be between 0 and 2147483647."

its easy set it in applicationHost.config-fle if you dont want to use cmd-things.

its located in -->WindowsFOLDER\System32\inetsrv\config (2008 server)

you must open it with notepad. do a Backup of the file first ...

according to the comments in config-->

"The recommended way to unlock sections is by using a location tag:
        <location path="Default Web Site" overrideMode="Allow">
            <system.webServer>
                <asp />
            </system.webServer>
        </location>"

so you can write in the bottom-->(since it doesnt exist before --> and i write maxvalue)

<location path="THENAMEOFTHESITEYOUHAVE" overrideMode="Allow">
            <system.webServer>
                <asp />
  <serverRuntime uploadReadAheadSize="2147483647" />
            </system.webServer>
        </location>

if you put it last before </configuration> for example... you know where you have it....

Hope that solves your problems. It was an SSL issue for me ..... to much post freezed the application ->(413) Request Entity Too Large error
