Is there any need for work around this?
They may come with greater limits later. Simply give them what they have
chosen: bullshit error messages.
Providing .reg file that removes the lame setting is the best we can do
about this.
sorry for being semi-OT

Actually consumer of this message is a client API which then formats
it to be displayed on the browser. So client product sends file to us
we then sent the message back "Too big ..." as part of the API
response. Client product parses this and then displays it on the
browser.

apache provides localized error messages for error codes. You can translate
them and add some bullshit to them to be over 512 bytes big.
But since it's the web browser, who eats those messages and shows user own
versions, who can tell when will microsoft come with bigger limit for error
messages?
My point is, you can (and apparently do) give useful error messages, but you
can't to much for clients' browsers not to sabotage it.

Doesn't work for us. We have clients who pay for our products and
electronically send there information to us and it's the requirement
from the client products to send them back the graceful turnaway with
good error message back to the user. This is hard requirement and
that's why I am stuck. I am thinking of may be writing something of my
own. Do you think I can write some cgi handler?
