15038	Fix in Ticket #6278 breaks the uploader for Mac Users	jerrek71		"Ticket #6278 states that the Flash Uploader does not work when the visitor is using Mac OSX

This is not correct - I am using OSX and the Flash Uploader with mod_security2 works just fine.

But it's worse than that - at least on my server, apache_mod_loaded() just kills the script silently. I'm using suPHP so I believe that runs PHP as a CGI and so apache_mod_loaded() probably isn't going to work (although one would have hoped it would simply return false rather than crash - but that's not a WP issue).

Nonetheless, I don't believe functionality should be blocked simply because you're on a Mac (a client issue) and the server has mod_security loaded (a server issue). This would be far better solved IF it's an issue, with a .htaccess or apache configuration rule such as SecFilterSelective or similar.

This bug is likely to affect many people using cPanel servers - mine's just a stock server with suPHP configured.

To reproduce you'll need to access a WP installation, attempt to upload media using a Mac OSX machine and be running on a suPHP based server. "	defect (bug)	closed	normal		Media	3.0.1	major	worksforme	reporter-feedback
