 In the event that a user attempts to upload a media file that is below the
 maximum php filesize, but where the POST is above the limit set by the web
 server, the error message (en) is:

 > Unexpected response from the server. The file may have been uploaded
 successfully. Check in the Media Library or reload the page.


 (It's a common configuration in web servers to set the max post/body sizes
 to be the same value as the maximum file size, but - since there's an
 overhead - files that appear to be just below the advertised limit will
 fail to upload.)

 When {{{/wp-admin/async-upload.php}}} receives a 413 code the user
 presented error message should include this code and the explanation -
 such as "413 Request Entity Too Large" (en) - since this is the
 information that will be useful for whoever does technical support for the
 site.
