290236 - Download of files above 2GB fails

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 184452

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Andreas Fink]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

Downloading a large disk image (in my case a 2.5GB dvd disk image from Apple's
developer connection) results in a downloaded file of 2GB. No errors occur. The
file is simply too short. You notice this after 4h of downloading and burning it
to a DVD and trying to boot this thing only.

Downloading the same in Safari does work.
Downloading the same with wget also hits a 2GB limit (which I presume is wget's
version of the same bug).

I guess the file size should be unsigned long instead of signed long or maybe a
long long to also go beyond 4GB.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download a file larger than 2GB from any site.

Actual Results:  
file is shortened at 2GB.
Note: filesystem supports larger files.

Expected Results:  
file should be downloaded fully

I think https was used in the cases I did.
