I don't think you can return more bytes than the number of particles in the universe ;-)
There is always a limit to everything, but I don't think there is any "defined" limit to this. It really depends more on how much the client can handle -- memory size, scratch space on the disk, bandwidth, etc.
One trick to return huge data to the browser is to use a Chunked Transfer-Encoding this way you can send big data by slicing it in small parts and sending it to the browser in small amounts. The browser will keep accepting the chunked transfer till it ends, it's better than simply piping the whole data. To get a better knowledge of the HTTP protocol refer to this really wonderfull text HTTP Made Really Easy (http://www.jmarshall.com/easy/http/), this text is easy to read and understand, it saved my life while creating revHTTPd.
Cheers andre
PS: I never coded chunked transfer encodings, if you do so, please share your code!!!! (if I do it first, I'll share mine) =)
