New description:

 This is not STRICTLY a bug but a concern for compatibility with a great
 deal of FCKEditor users with some of the main stream hosting companies
 like HostGator. I think it needs addressing so that more people can use
 FCK without problems...

 su_hosen or mod_security may not allow get variable to have absolute
 paths.

 e.g.
 
http://www.example.com/editor/filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Type=uploads&Connector=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Feditor%2Ffilemanager%2Fconnectors%2Fphp%2Fconnector.php

 This may throw a 403 permission denied error.

 The following example won't:
 
http://www.example.com/editor/filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Type=uploads&Connector=%2Feditor%2Ffilemanager%2Fconnectors%2Fphp%2Fconnector.php

 So to fix this the value of "FCKConfig.BasePath" should be root relative
 instead of absolute.

 Current value for our example;
 FCKConfig.BasePath = http://www.example.com/editor

 should be;
 FCKConfig.BasePath = /editor
