Just to make sure I understand the case you're looking for...

- IIS 6.0
- HTTP keepalives turned on
- POST of a large file
- some notes about where the delays are so we can guess what IE is
sending

Do you need the HTTP headers, or the ethereal trace, or both?

My IIS 6.0 server currently has a limit on filesize of something less
than 1MB. I'm hoping to not have to change that, which I think means
you need the ethereal trace, yes?
