Yes. The upload consists of multiple files in a multi-part POST. Getting some of the files is better than getting none of the files. > Are you better off deciding how to avoid the timeout instead? The problem there is that I'm dealing with a custom client (I'm not actually serving a website, the client end is a automated program not a browser), and if we ship a new client, it takes about a year for 100% of the machines to be updated. So if the timeout is client related (which is probable), and fixable, it's still going to be a year before we've solved the problem. So partial solutions for the interim are desireable.
