Okay, thanks. The version of nchp we've got on the proxy is not new enough which is why you're seeing this problem.

This is also causes a problem when one tries to use Upload to send a large file.

Ah I see - let me know when that's updated (or if it can't be updated, let me know so that I can add a note to the instructor guide)
