Bug#560867: can't write to remote files lines longer than 27441 chars

[Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo]

Package: libnet-ssh2-perl
Version: 0.28-1
Severity: normal

Can't find anything about these limits in documentation so I'm submitting
this bugreport.

I tried to write some script and everything worked fine until I tried to
send some long line.

Here goes my script:

#!/usr/bin/perl -W

use strict;
use Fcntl;
use warnings FATAL => qw (all);
use Net::SSH2;

my $ssh2 = Net::SSH2->new();
$ssh2->connect('hostname') or die $!;
$ssh2->auth_password('fenio','password');
my $sftp = $ssh2->sftp();
my $remote = $sftp->open('/home/fenio/foo.txt', O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC);

print $remote "A" x 27442;

Sending 27441 characters works fine.

Even with $ssh2->debug(1) there's no information what's wrong.

If I should use it other way then it should be stated in documentation.

regards
fEnIo
