Ugh. Being one of these other 2 people, I still haven't been able to
find the correct recipe to support this over http... I have
found a lot of people complaining about some 2G hard limit in
Apache 2.2 on Windows, but haven't found the exact resolution.

Adam, is the file indeed >2G when compressed and deltified? For me,
it seems to be a problem with the PUT size to apache for a particular
file. This size can be considerably smaller than the actual file
size.
