https + large-file sending, sometimes fails

[Dave Cheney]

Hi Gábor,

	What puzzles us is the problem only occurs when downloading static  
files, which is a rare occurrence, vs. checkouts and logins which  
happen far more frequently.

	I had tried to report this issue to the list a while ago but didn't  
do a good job of explaining the problem and didn't pique Igors  
interest. Hopefully your report has got his attention and it has  
inspired me to dig deeper into the problem to come up with more  
supporting data.

Cheers

Dave
