TYPO3 Core

On a few TYPO3 Installations of the current release the fileupload with the new, glammurous plugin always fails without showing any message.

<b>Step By Step - Description</b>

1) I go to TYPO3 BE > choose file > filelist
2) there, i pick a folder (f.e.) temp upload and open this
3) after clicking on the upload button the dialog-box turns up on the screen where I can choose any file(s) from my local computer to upload.
4) while clicking on the ok button of my windows os dialog-box the ajaxupload starts to work. you can see the processbar fading to the right.
5) after this the right frame reloads and shows the containing files. The new uploaded file(s) is not available on the server and didn't transmit. also no message about fail-cause turns up on screen. it's just as if i didn't even accessed the upload button....

This problem turns up in about 5 or 6 TYPO3-installations which i've done with the each current version i've downloaded on typo3.org before starting up a project.

<b>Workaround</b>

Meanwhile I found a solution to workaround this problem by unchecking the "Enable Flash Uploader (requires Flash 9+)"-function in my "User Settings" under the "Edit & Advanced functions"-Tab. Instead of the multiupload flashy feature, the good old upload form appears and uploading works well.

<b>Step by Step - Workaround</b>
1) Login on your TYPO3 BE
2) Go to "User Tools" on the Left > "User Settings"
3) Then click on Tab "Edit & Advanced functions"
4) Uncheck "Enable Flash Uploader (requires Flash 9+)"
5) Clear Cache and retry upload with the good old static upload-function

<b>Where is this error message from</b>
Well, after testing this Uploadfeature failed in Firefox, I've tried the IE7, IE8 and Google Chrome as well as the Safari Browser. The problem still remains. No success in uploading any file via filelist. I've also tried to test it from different computers and even from mac and none of the tries worked.

Following changes or troubleshooting tries didn't help me out of this.

- <b>Update</b> of the local <b>browser - flash-plugin</b> version
- <b>unchecking</b> the <b>thumb-preview-feature</b> in fileliste
- <b>updating</b> file- and foldercreatmask tu full access (0777) in typo3conf
- changing value <b>displayErrors = 1</b> in the <b>Install Tool</b>
- <b>clearing</b> all the <b>temp-files</b>
- checking all accessibile error logs on typo3
- and some more tries which don't need to be mentioned

<b>403-Message</b> with error popup in one of the TYPO3 installations
There is one TYPO3 Version on which I've found the same problem with a message turning up on the screen after failed upload: this says error 403.

The correct message ist:
<em>
All of your uploads failed.

If this problem persists, please try another browser, contact your administrator or disable this "Flash Uploader" in your User Settings.

Detailed problem description: 403

After many tries, and a tip of Steffen Gebert (developer) i've checked the server access_log and also the server error_log and found following information:

<b>1) Log-Entry - 406 Code</b>
