Description

When attempting to upload files of approximately 2.8 GB via HTTPS, we encounter the following error:

SSL_read() failed (SSL: error:140DF10F:SSL routines:SSL_read:bad length)

We suspect that this issue is related to the use of the SSL_read() function, which is overflowing.

Not sure, but a possible solution might be to use the SSL_read_ex() function instead.

SSL_read() may fail if buffer size does not fit in an int, which is typically a 32-bit integer. What's the value of client_body_buffer_size in your configuration? Setting it to something like 2Gb is a bad idea.

Replying to Roman Arutyunyan:

You are right, the value of client_body_buffer_size was too high. Shame on me.

Sorry for the time you spent. Please close the ticket.

Best regards.
