Greetings,

I have a question regarding the handling by gears of blobs with length
larger than 2GB.

Currently browsers have limitations in their file upload controls. One
cannot HTTP POST a file with length > 2GB.

Related pages regarding this limitation:

Mozilla bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383446

I haven't tested it, but the gears blob has a length property of type
'int', according to http://code.google.com/apis/gears/api_blob.html,
so
it would probably have the same limitation. Is this correct?

If so, are there any plans to allow gears handle such large blobs and
overcome the browser-imposed limit?

Kind regards,
