Using the latest master branch, uploads fail part way through with the following error:

Could the code be modified to recover from this error?

Tested (with a very small file) and it worked for me. Anyone has any more information?

Currently, I'm trying to upload a 3.6GB file and it won't upload for more than 100MB or so before failing.

The process should retry the upload on a 408, rather than fail.

It looks like others are reporting the problem too. https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=108795&tstart=0
