Is it possible to download really large files (>4GB) using HTTP?
Internet explorer starts the download, but fails to show the filesize.
Mozilla just creates an empty file and cancels download (no error message).

it all depends on the clients connection and the servers connection, IE wont give you a file size or time because it cant estimate, in theory it will work, but will your connection stay alive long enough for a single file 4gb transfer? Ide suggest using RAR to split it into a multi-file archive.
My question was more theoretical.
Is this valid for the server to send?
IE displays the filesize when Content-Length is more normal.Code:HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Test Java server Connection: close Content-Length: 3298534883328 Content-Type: application/zip <many bytes here>

According to the RFC:
Any Content-Length greater than or equal to zero is a valid value
When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
