Uploading behind a proxy error http://www.danieltome.com/blog/2008/05/01/flash-filereference-uploading-behind-a-proxy-error/ http://www.danieltome.com/blog/2008/05/01/flash-filereference-uploading-behind-a-proxy-error/#comments Thu, 01 May 2008 05:54:06 +0000 Danno http://www.danieltome.com/blog/?p=92 When your browser connects to the internet through a proxy and you try to upload using FileRefence you might get an IOError or a 406 http not acceptable error. I say ‘might’ because not all OS browser combinations trigger this error. On Windows/Firefox you will probably get an authentication popup to enter the proxy username and password, but on Mac/Firefox you will get the 406 error.

Anyways if you try searching the net, there are several threads that ask about this proxy error but no answers. I finally found a blog post that had a solution in one of the comments. From Coding Cowboys.

Add to your .htaccess file:

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

or:

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

Beware that this will disable the Apache ModSecurity module for that folder.

I just saw that the Adobe livedocs upload reference also has a comment by: log2e, regarding the 403 and 406 errors.
