>2gb downloads have weird glitch

[richardpl]

If I download files over HTTPS that are over 2GiB in size I will get dialog with some error message at stream end of fetch but downloaded file, in this specific case: 7z works fine and decompress everything just fine. minor issue.

Same happens with latest version.

set protocol.http.use_curl = 1
or
set protocol.http.use_curl = 0 ?

How does it behave when this setting is "flipped"?

[richardpl]

With curl option enabled it works without any issues.

[rkd77]

How to reproduce it?
It occurs with any https server, or some specific?
Only for files bigger than 2GB or for smalller too?

[richardpl]

Smaller than 2GiB works fine, at end speed drops to 0, and than message appears. It might be also server issue, need to setup https server locally to confirm.
