maximum file upload size in sharepoint - sharepoint

Question

I use the following method to upload a document into sharepoint document library.
However, upon executing the query - get the following error:
Message = "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request."
the files are failing over 1mb, so i tested it via the sharepoint UI and the same file uploaded successfully.
any thoughts on what's the issue is? is it possible to stream the file over rather than 1 large file chunk? the file in question is only 3mb in size..
private ListItem UploadDocumentToSharePoint(RequestedDocumentFileInfo requestedDoc, ClientContext clientContext)
{
try
{
var uploadLocation = string.Format("{0}{1}/{2}", SiteUrl, Helpers.ListNames.RequestedDocuments,
Path.GetFileName(requestedDoc.DocumentWithFilePath));
//Get Document List
var documentslist = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(Helpers.ListNames.RequestedDocuments);
var fileCreationInformation = new FileCreationInformation
{
Content = requestedDoc.ByteArray,
Overwrite = true,
Url = uploadLocation //Upload URL,
};
var uploadFile = documentslist.RootFolder.Files.Add(fileCreationInformation);
clientContext.Load(uploadFile);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
var item = uploadFile.ListItemAllFields;
item["Title"] = requestedDoc.FileNameParts.FileSubject;
item["FileLeafRef"] = requestedDoc.SharepointFileName;
item.Update();
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
throw new ApplicationException(exception.Message);
}
return GetDocument(requestedDoc.SharepointFileName + "." + requestedDoc.FileNameParts.Extention, clientContext);
}
EDIT: i did find the following ms page regarding my issue (which seems identical to the issue they have raised) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2529243 but appears to not provide a solution.

ok found the solution here:

i'll need to store the document on the server hosting the file then using the filestream upload process i've done in my code below:
private ListItem UploadDocumentToSharePoint(RequestedDocumentFileInfo requestedDoc, ClientContext clientContext)
{
try
{
using(var fs = new FileStream(string.Format(#"C:\[myfilepath]\{0}", Path.GetFileName(requestedDoc.DocumentWithFilePath)), FileMode.Open))
{
File.SaveBinaryDirect(clientContext, string.Format("/{0}/{1}", Helpers.ListNames.RequestedDocuments, requestedDoc.FileName), fs, true);
}
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
throw new ApplicationException(exception.Message);
}
return GetDocument(requestedDoc.SharepointFileName + "." + requestedDoc.FileNameParts.Extention, clientContext);
}
