title: can someone interpert max_input_time directive for me?
body: <p>I am having a real problem understanding this.  max_input_time = This sets the maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to parse input data, like POST, GET and file uploads.  </p>
  
  <p>So this is the time it will wait to receive data i assume.</p>
  
  <p>Then i ask my self, if that is its purpose would it serve if you never know what file size the person may upload or what his upload speed really is.</p>
  
  <p>So my second assumption would be, the time it takes to copy it to the temporary directory. Which is a more logical explanation. </p>
  
  <p>Does any one know for sure or has tested?   </p>
