DIME attachment size limit

[Betsy Frey <Be...@merant.com>]

I cannot send a file as a DIME attachment if the file size is more than the
DIME single-attachment limit of 2^32-1 bytes.  The code looks like it chunks
larger files into multiple DIME attachments, but it does not seem to work.

Is this a known bug?
Is there a suggested work-around?

you are probably the first person to try and send stuff that big, which
means you have just encountered the limits of the system. You could file a
bug report, but the fastest way to fix it will probably mean you rummaging
around in the code yourself.


out of curiosity, what kind of files are you sending over the wire that are
that big, and how far is the web service from the clients as far as the
network goes. I hope you are all on a fast LAN...
