Publication fails with java.io.IOException: Error writing to server (for larger plugin payloads?)

[abstratt]

Sometimes, plugin publication fails with java.io.IOException: Error writing to server. Other reports in the wild suggest this may be due to payload size and failing to enabling chunking in HttpURLConnection. See:

• https://support.sonatype.com/hc/en-us/articles/218101688-Ivy-deploy-fails-intermittently-with-java-io-IOException-Error-writing-to-server- and
• https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1197

Even though the cause is likely different, it has similar symptoms to gradle/gradle#14193 and #116 (user can no longer republish, as even though publication failed, we end up with partial changes committed to the database). I will not cover that aspect of the failure mode, as #116 covers that already.

Expected Behavior

Plugin publication succeeds, or is rejected with a helpful error message ("Plugin file is too large, limit is XYZ").

Current Behavior

Plugin publication fails with:

Context

User is unable to publish a plugin.

Steps to Reproduce

Seems to be related to plugin payload size (user's plugin payload size was 90mb).
