Description
uhttpd has a default script_timeout of 60s. This means if the upload takes more than 60s, uhttpd kills the connection.
We're running across this when uploading a firmware image over a low-bandwidth link.

Research direction
Start by tracing how cgi-upload handles the upload response and how that interacts with uhttpd's default 60-second script_timeout. Confirm the behavior with a firmware-sized upload over a low-bandwidth link; done means long uploads emit data before completion and no longer time out.
