Max file size which can be transferred

[Rakshith]

Hi,

I wanted to know whats the maximum file size which i can transfer using a
simple CURL PUT/GET command. I ask this because when i try to send a file
which is >64KB, i get a HTTP/1.1 100 Continue message:

File i am trying to do a PUT:

[rakshith~]$ ls -l nginx.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 rakshith engr 675840 Jul 29 14:38 nginx.tar

[rakshith~]$ curl -X PUT -d @nginx.tar -o /dev/null -qvk
http://x.x.x.x:80/Enginex.tar
* About to connect() to x.x.x.x port 80
*   Trying x.x.x.x... connected
* Connected to x.x.x.x (x.x.x.x) port 80

< Content-Length: 0

< Connection: keep-alive

9065k* Connection #0 to host x.x.x.x left intact
 
Now the actual contents which made it through is of size close to 64KB and
not 647KB

bash-3.2# ls -l Enginex.tar
-rw-------  1 nobody  nobody  64982 Aug  1 06:05 Enginex.tar

Any reply/help on this would be really helpful!!.

Thanks,
Rakshith
