I think I can reproduce this with a random PDF I tried to upload. It seemed to be progressing, and then the progress bar disappeared and there was no further indication that I was uploading anything. TB, do you know if this worked in older versions?

This sounds like bug 739617.

The restart timer is not supposed to apply to non pipelined resources, and uploads are never pipelined. That's why the restart timer is not kicked during the upload process.

The source of this bug is nsHttpPipeline::PipelinePosition() which returns 2 when the response queue is empty. (the pipeline datastructure is often used even when there is no pielining going on, so the fact that this method is not called is not a problem, it is the implementation in it).

patch will follow.
