The import file is 26 kb, with 317 lines. Latency to the server is approximately 200ms, dunno if that affects anything.
Are there any debugging things I should do?
(sorry for the late reply, notifications didn't work)

It's the reverse proxy's fault. Uploading directly fixes the problem. Sorry to bother you

I tested it with a similar setup and it imports fine to me (it does take a while tough).

I uploaded the test file I used, in the format that Chrome uses and with similar parameters to the ones you mentioned, you'll have to change the extension to csv because github doesn't allow csvs for some reason.
ChromePasswords.txt

Does this one work for you?

That's strange, is the import file really big or something?

I'm going to close this as it sounds like it was resolved. Did you have to add something on top of the proxy examples we have in the wiki or was it something specific to your installation? Maybe we could extend the docs a bit if you think it might be a common issue.

I seem to have forgotten to add the line raising the upload limit. The documentation in the wiki doesn't seem to be wrong.
