Andy, my server has mod_security enabled (Apache version: 1.3.37, Unix). Using you suggestion as written in .htaccess borked my blog with a 500 Internal Server Error. I removed the IfModule tags and applied just this to .htaccess: SecFilterSelective "REQUEST_URI" "wp-admin/async-upload.php" "allow,nolog" The blog loaded normally, but attempting to upload using Firefox/Windows failed with this 406 error message: HTTP Error. An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later. (Image uploading using Firefox/Mac succeeded with the error message "File failed specified test.") I had earlier suggested here a different .htaccess addition which I found while searching the Web. This is intended to get mod_security to ignore the problematic Flash header. <IfModule mod_security.c> SetEnvIfNoCase Content-Type \ "^multipart/form-data;" "MODSEC_NOPOSTBUFFERING=Do not buffer file uploads" </IfModule> <IfModule mod_gzip.c> mod_gzip_on No </IfModule> It worked. Image uploading using Firefox/Windows succeeded with no errors. Using Firefox/Mac succeeded with the "File failed specified test" message. As I said earlier, I haven't tested this using other browers. all best, phil _______________________________________________ wp-testers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers
