That's a good idea, Ronald! socket.c:sock_send_impl() already clamps the input length on Windows:

#ifdef MS_WINDOWS
    if (ctx->len > INT_MAX)
        ctx->len = INT_MAX;
    ctx->result = send(s->sock_fd, ctx->buf, (int)ctx->len, ctx->flags);
#else
    ctx->result = send(s->sock_fd, ctx->buf, ctx->len, ctx->flags);
#endif

I could implement a similar logic for SSLSocket. Applications have to check the return value of send() any way or use sendall(). The socket.send() method / send(2) libc function may also write less bytes.
