I've tested uploading the >2Gb file (test1.war) into Tomcat Manager
with current Google Chrome.  Result: this browser handles it OK.

I had to change web.xml in manager app in Tomcat 7 to allow upload of
such a file. That is:
[[[
    <multipart-config>
      <max-file-size>-1</max-file-size>
      <max-request-size>-1</max-request-size>
      <file-size-threshold>0</file-size-threshold>
    </multipart-config>
]]]

Result in Tomcat 6 - Failure. The manager displays error message:

FAIL - Deploy Upload Failed, Exception: the request was rejected
because it's size is unknown

In manager.<date>.log file:
[[[
12.04.2012 16:21:33 org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log
SEVERE: HTMLManager: FAIL - Deploy Upload Failed, Exception: the
request was rejected because it's size is unknown
org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUploadBase$UnknownSizeException:
the request was rejected because it's size is unknown
        at 
org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUploadBase.parseRequest(FileUploadBase.java:267)
        at 
org.apache.catalina.manager.HTMLManagerServlet.doPost(HTMLManagerServlet.java:190)
        at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:637)
        at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717)
]]]

The code there is based on old version of commons fileupload and does
the following:
(FileUploadBase.java:267)

        int requestSize = req.getContentLength();
        if (requestSize == -1)
        {
            throw new UnknownSizeException(
                "the request was rejected because it's size is unknown");
        }

This code is used in the Manager application only,  so I treat it as
WONTFIX, until there is a real need to deploy 2Gb wars through the
manager. ;)  I am just saying that some old version of Commons
Fileupload did have an issue there.


In Tomcat 7 the code is newer and does handle "-1" properly. There it
more important, because that code is used to implement file upload
support for Servlet 3.0 applications.

In Tomcat 7 manager app  (with the above mentioned configuration
change) the upload succeeded and the archive was unpacked.

Access log:
Tomcat 6:
[[[
127.0.0.1 - tomcat [12/Apr/2012:16:21:33 +0400] "POST

Tomcat 7:
[[[
127.0.0.1 - tomcat [12/Apr/2012:17:22:34 +0400] "POST

HTTP/1.1" 200 17519 in:[2314844272] out:[-]
]]]

For reference:
File size was: 2314844070 bytes
Request size from Chrome was: 2314844272 bytes (= 0x89F9B870 = -1980123024)
Overhead from multipart/form-data was 202 bytes.


(Regarding broken Content-Length in IE: maybe it allocates only 10
chars for their number buffer, so when '-' occupies one character the
whole number gets truncated. Well, a negative value is a garbage
anyway).
