****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Failures may occur during HTTP upload   *
*                      over SSL when the request body          *
*                      exceeds 2 gigabytes.                    *
****************************************************************

HTTP uploads over SSL fail with various symptoms when the
request body exceeds 2 gigabytes.

Problem conclusion

The mod_ibm_ssl routines that perform low-level I/O operations
were updated to properly handle large uploads.
