Chris,

The test file is a real-world Outlook personal folder file (*.pst) with changes all over the
place. It is set to compressible encryption, but I suspect it is not really compressible.

As far as I can tell, the upload link was not interrupted during that time (meaning: a network
problem). I am not sure what you mean about compressing, I thought Box server was handling and
compressing content on blobk-by-block basis, it should not take more than 300 seconds to process
one block on the server side (if this is, indeed, an SLL timeout).
