10825	Flash Uploader Breaks with HTTP Authentication	selling		"We have a fresh install of WordPress 2.8.4 (not an upgrade) and the flash based uploader fails with 'HTTP error' on the upload page in Firefox.

We do not use mod_security and I disabled all Firefox plugins I had installed as suggested by bug #10153 but the problem persists.

I found that the flash uploader fails with 'HTTP error' when HTTP basic authentication is enabled.  The site that has this problem is a development site and we cannot remove authentication because the dev site is not legally approved for the general public.

For the record, here are the Firefox plugins I have installed:

Download Statusbar
FlashBlock
Greasemonkey
NoScript
ReloadEvery
ShowIP
Tamper Data
User Agent Switcher


Incidently, WordPress does work with the above Firefox plugins when HTTP authentication is disabled.

I'm using Firefox 3.0.14 (Linux) and Flash 10.0.32.18.  Firefox is configured to block pop-up windows; Javascript is not allowed to move/resize existing windows, raise/lower windows, hide the status bar, or change the status bar text; and not accept 3rd party cookies.

The installed WordPress plugins are Akismet version 2.2.6 and Dagon Design Import Users version 1.2."	defect (bug)	closed	normal		Upload	2.8.4	normal	wontfix
