Surely neither of these are right? The problem reported was due to a large
POST request where it is not even certain that the MP3 will have been
transmitted to squid in the 15 minutes. Putting the update to s_fd line in
pumpServerCopy() is the only way to keep the server side timeout updated.

And the first patch above wouldn't have any effect since that's only the
client side timeout - which will mostly have already been updated from about
5 lines further up anyway for large requests.

Or am I talking out my posterior?
