Timeouts during large uploads, very slow queries etc

AFAIK the client browser timesout rather than the upload application. ie the client's browser 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.
