I 've had it with 2 other scripting languages.

AFAIK the client browser timesout rather than the upload application. ie the client's broweser
thinks nothings going on and timesout.

I did read of a nasty fix, where you have a simple frameset where the app is in the main Frame and
there's a tiny "invisible" frame where a piece of javaScript periodically refreshes or write's a
character to the frame to fool your browser.

I never tried but would like to hear your views
