Description

FileTransfer does not set the Content-Length header even when known, which causes Amazon S3 to return HTML Code 411 (Length Required).

Adding the following lines after line 328 solves the problem:
if (fixedLength >= 0)

{ conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", ""+fixedLength); }

(Haven't tested on iOS, but see that iOS does have code to set Content-Length.)
