[Bug 235200] [NEW] cannot upload files greater than 4 GB

[Ulli Horlacher]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

System is:

Ubuntu 8.04  with kernel 2.6.24-16-generic x86_64
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008041515 Firefox/3.0b5
3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3

When using a HTML upload form (multipart/form-data) and attaching a file
with 5 GB, firefox only sends 1 GB.

This is the file locally:

root at pussy:/export/tmp# ll
-rw-r--r-- root     root       5368709120 2008-05-27 14:21:08 5GB.tmp

In the webserver log I see:

CONNECT 2008-05-27 14:27:25 pussy.rus.uni-stuttgart.de 129.69.1.33 
POST /fup?to=framstag&from=framstag HTTP/1.1

Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------70512304014310478592060806319

As you can see: the Content-Length is wrong! It should be:
Content-Length: 5368709120

Webserver is http://fex.rus.uni-stuttgart.de/ and designed for HUGE
uploads.
