The problem in using web server to upload huge files is that the web server
stores the uploaded file in a temporary folder which in most cases means it
is stored in RAM. Considering the fact that the uploaded data is encoded as
multipart/form-data you would need more than 4/3*5 MB of _free_ RAM. If you
don't have sufficient RAM then you should think of other ways.
- Like a server listening on a port in the board and uploading the firmware
via a java applet.
- Patching the web server to directly decode multipart/form-data and
directly writing it to the flash.
