API returns 500 "General Error" when trying to upload an image that is larger than the chunk_size

[stefan-schnellberger]

I noticed, that the API returned a "General Error" when I tried to upload an image that is larger than 20 MB.
After some research I found a matching issue in the cloudinary_android-Repo: cloudinary/cloudinary_android#148.
After reading the docs (https://cloudinary.com/documentation/upload_images#chunked_asset_upload), I set the chunk_size to a value that is larger than 20 MB (e. g. 30000000) when calling the upload-function.
That fixed my problem. However, the Chunked asset upload feature doesn't seem to work.

Issue Type (Can be multiple)

• Behaviour - Functions aren’t working as expected (such as generate URL)
• Documentation - Inconsistency between the docs and behaviour

Steps to reproduce

Try to upload a file larger than 20 MB (or the \Cloudinary\Configuration\ApiConfig::DEFAULT_CHUNK_SIZE respectively).
