The image uploading issue that results in an http error has been brought up
repeatedly, and answers on the topic repeatedly point towards either add-on
issues or the possibility of the user not having the latest Flash version.
Well, before any user starts pulling out hair, I believe it's Brent Logan
who first posted this slight change to the htaccess file:
> SecFilterEngine Off
> SecFilterScanPOST Off
That worked like a charm for me, using WP2.5 RC2, with either FF or IE,
under Vista. I would guess that many people are hosted somewhere and will
run into the same issue, so this - along with the various possibly
conflicting add-ons - should be way up front in the troubleshooting
documentation for image upload. Not that you guys aren't fun to read, but
still, 2 second fix vs 2 hours of digest reading... tough choice! ;-)
