Cannot GET entities > 2GB using jdk-connector

It's a bit hard for me to produce a minimal failing test case but I can show you exactly where the problem is.

I am forwarding some large files from openstack swift via jetty, jax-rs-client and the jdk-connector (because the performance seems way way better for big files)

In org.glassfish.jersey.jdk.connector.internal.HttpParser there's a method called decideTransferEncoding where it expects the content length to parse as an int. This fails when the response size is greater than Integer.MAX_VALUE. There might be more issues with this further on down the line, but this was the first one I hit. If I get some time I'll try and get you a patch, but for now I'm going to try and work around it.

So you use a buffered entity, you buffer over 2GB of data to memory and then you send them to the client. Do I understand the issue correctly?

Note that for large files, chunked encoding is far better than a buffered stream. Use client.property(ClientProperties.REQUEST_ENTITY_PROCESSING, RequestEntityProcessing.CHUNKED).
