What version of Lynx?  On what operating system and what version?

When I upload a PDF file containing several MO via a form, only 8KB
are stored in a temporary file of the Apache server and the server
waits for the rest of the file, then a timeout occurs with this error

(70007)The timeout specified has expired: Error reading request entity data 

I never encountered this problem with my personnal compiled version,
maybe 2.8.7.  I believe I compiled it to use SSL which was not
supported in the packaged version on Debian/Lenny.
