Files over 2GB may fail due to a deficiency in WinHttp
[net/http/http_transaction_winhttp.cc]:
// WinHTTP truncates a response longer than 2GB. Perhaps it stores the
// response's content length in a signed 32-bit integer. We fail rather
// than reading a truncated response.
if (response_.headers->GetContentLength() > 0x80000000)
return ERR_FILE_TOO_BIG;
I haven't tried, but downloads > 2GB may work if using chunked
transfer coding, or if omitting the Content-Length header.
You can file a bug to track this here:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/entry
As chromium team is changing the http implementation, this may be
something we check for support of in the new network stack.
(you can preview the new stack to see if it solves the problem, by
passing chrome.exe the flag --new-http)
