Public bug reported:

Contrary to reports mentioned in this post on Adobe's jira:

(See http://www.pavlasek.sk/devel/?p=10)

Flash Player 10 will successfully upload using Flex's
FileReference.upload method on http and https on firefox in a clean
jaunty installation.  I recently came across a systematic failure of
this method on https on my personal jaunty installation and tracked it
down to having installed curl (and thus dependent package libcurl3).

If libcurl3 is installed on top of a clean jaunty installation file
upload will fail on https.  The reason seems to have something to do
with invalid handling of TLSV1 with libcurl3 installed since I saw an
error in wireshark with a TLS frame being returned stating "Fatal,
Unexpected Message".  I suspect a difference in implementation between
OpenSSL and / Gnu TLS.  Flash player in firefox / linux makes its own
http or https connections instead of going through the browser when
doing file upload.

** Affects: curl (Ubuntu)
