Artifactory Curl -X PUT large file - 502 Bad Gateway The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server / 403 Bad props auth token

Artifactory version:EnterpriseX license 7.15.3 rev 71503900

I have admin level access on the target repository. I'm trying to upload an artifact which is close to 10GB long (air-gapped .tgz) file. I'm getting the following error.

When I try to upload the file using Artifactory UI (clicking Deploy button on the target repo), It kicks me out back to login screen, while the upload says 100% complete but check-box/options for deploying artifact as "bundle artifact" or as per user defined "Layout" is not showing up, Deploy button at the bottom of that pop-up window is also grayed out.

Tried curl using Access Key as per documentation here: https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/JFROG/Artifactory+REST+API but it gives me an error mesg after a very long time (12-13+ hours) about 502 Bad Gateway.

I also tried using -x "" option to bypass proxy or prefixed the same command with no_proxy="10.20.30.40" curl .... but getting the same error. Tried -u user:pass, gives same error. Artifactory settings/DB configuration has been changed to allow for more connections and longer time allotted before timeout but still getting the same error.

PS: Notice that 0 under 258M in the 2nd line, i.e. line under We are completely uploaded and fine that tells me, nothing is getting uploaded.

Another odd/annoying thing: If I use the same API Access Key on a small file (like few KBs) then I instantly hit the following 403 Bad props auth token error. If I pass another file (ex:> 2MB) without changing anything in the command, it gives me the above 502 Bad Gateway error.
