Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 > Since the introduction of the Media Gallery in WordPress 3.4, the error
 messages when users attempt to upload media have been reduced to a detail-
 less “HTTP error.”

 FWIW, that message wasn't new in 3.5 media overhaul, it existed since the
 introduction of SWFUpload in 2.5, see [6659]:
