Uploading big files crush page in Chrome

[mattermoran]

So I'm doing as in this example https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs-api/tree/master/examples/upload-file-via-browser and everything works fine. But when I try to upload files that more than 3gb page crushes.

I am facing the same issue

I have the same issue, except with files over 50-100mb crashing it. I've tried ReadableStream, pull stream, buffer instances... nothing working. Smaller files get there just fine. Running node 8.10. Thought pull streams would've worked based on this

@julientregoat -- ipfs/js-ipfs#952 -- says that things are good uploading over 1GB on js-ipfs. Here, you are using js-ipfs-api, the HTTP Client library and talking with a go-ipfs daemon, it is a different scenario.

This should just be a buffering/streaming issue when creating the HTTP request. If anyone is available to tackle this, it would be great to have it solved.

It works on Safari. Just crashes in Chrome. How can I handle this? Does anybody work on it?
