The fact is, after pushing the button I *send* data to the other side.
Indeed, Mozilla recognises this fact, while Galeon does not: Mozilla's
message is correct, Galeon's is not.  This is the code that shows the
file name input cell and the upload button:

<input class="altButton" name="uploadedfile" type="file">
<input class="altButton" name="upload" value="Upload" type="submit">

I made some tries before sending the report, and I am reasonably sure
that it is a timeout problem.

Ok, this is what I had looked for before sending the report and could
not find :-)  But I had looked under ~/.galeon/mozilla/galeon/prefs.js

Where are those values stored?

Well, it turns out that changing the timeout has no effect :-(

Okay,resorting to tcpdump...  Hey!  You were right in suspecting, it's
the servar which times out!  After 30 seconds it resets the connection,
and sends not 1 but 43 TCP reset packets...

All right, thanks for your time, and this bug report restricts to a bad
message and could be downgraded to minor.
