Hi,
Have you started looking at using the new APIs? Any chance you can

Hi,
If it helps, I've just downloaded two repos, one over 4GB without
issue,
both https, windows debug build, serf user-defined-authn branch
Also can I hope to get user-defined-authn in the next release? :)
It's working fine so far for my purposes
Best regards,
Peter
