[issue18135] _ssl module: possible integer overflow for very long strings (+2^31 bytes)

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

I'm sorry to chime in a bit late, but I think this isn't the correct solution. Right now partial writes are not possible on a SSL socket, but this commit makes them possible. See http://bugs.python.org/issue8240 and http://bugs.python.org/issue12197 for some background.

I think the right solution here would be to raise OverflowError, not truncate the output.
