POST requests hanging on file upload

POST requests to server work fine until a file is attached. The form is being sent as multipart.

In Apache's log file the request appears: 200 0

As far as I can tell, the 0 shows that nothing is being returned? Why would this be?

Thanks in advance for any help.

It was actually a problem with our firewalls blocking traffic containing file uploads. The firewall's definitions had been updated automatically, one of the updates was for a fix for an IIS (which we don't use) buffer overflow venerability. The firewall, on receiving the upload was returning an empty response which broke everything.
