Comment:

 I worked directly with the reporter today. On his shared account with a
 forwarded domain, the uploader sends a well-formed POST to the correct
 URL. The response is a 301 (Moved Permanently) to the same URL plus a
 trailing slash (async-upload.php/). This much happens regardless of
 platform.

 In Windows, the Flash uploader succeeds. In OS X, it fails and gives the
 user the HTTP Error. We modified async-upload.php to dump $_POST as a
 first line and this was not caught by the uploader, so it looks like the
 301 is not coming from the script.

 This is an extreme edge case and no solution presents itself. A possible
 workaround is to add an option to disable Flash uploads.

 I have passed the information upstream to
 http://swfupload.org/forum/generaldiscussion/275
 and linked back here.
