Description:
------------
As per #51723, the content-length header is limited to 2GB - however it need not be.
If Apache 2.2 is built with -DLARGEFILE_SOURCE -DFILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 then apr_off_t is an off64_t, however the conversion in the calls to ap_set_content_length uses strtocol (hence limited to the 32-bit long on Linux 32), but if strtocoll is used instead to return a 64-bit long long, the header is set correctly for values > 2GB.

The attached patch is of the adjustment, I guess the configure script generation needs to be updated to establish whether apr_off_t is long or long long.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
header("Content-Length: 10000000000");
?>


Expected result:
----------------
A header:
Content-Length: 10000000000

Actual result:
--------------
A header:
Content-Length: 2147483647

Correction to the above - clearly I mean strtol and strtoll rather than strtocol and strtocoll.

strtoll is not portable. We need something like in http://lxr.php.net/opengrok/xref/PHP_5_3/ext/date/lib/parse_date.re#36 to define it. Probably php-src/main/ should declare a php_strtoll or so. (Didn't take a closer look at the issue)

Exactly, will add it while testing the other fix (which works on windows 32/64 and linux 64 only so far) more carefully.
