`hab pkg install` for large packages timeout on download

[jmery]

hab CLI version

hab 0.83.0/20190712231714

Platform Details

Windows 2016 1607 build 14393.3025

Scenario:

hab pkg install conal/iaccess will not download from bldr.habitat.sh. We believe this is related to the size of the package @ ~2.6 GB. Watching the process and network traffic shows that hab never actually starts to pull the package from bldr.

Steps to Reproduce:

hab pkg install conal/iaccess

Expected Result:

This package should download and install successfully like any other package.

Actual Result:

This is something we'll investigate for the longer term along with features such as resumable downloads. One option is to use the on-prem builder and configure package sizes to be larger based on individual needs.

I know this is a bit of an older issue ticket, but we discovered that one could bypass the default hab pkg install timeout via setting the HAB_CLIENT_SOCKET_TIMEOUT parameter (in seconds).
