  I am using the wordpress.com cloud service (oliverveits.wordpress.com). File upload used to work for months without problems. Now, when using the Chrome browser, I often get a ‘HTTP error’ after 100% of the file is uploaded. I am using the WP Admin interface. In the moment, it works, but I have seen the error several times now. Today, it had worked when using the Internet Explorer instead, and after that, the Chrome browser has worked again. Have you seen similar problems?

  I have seen more request like this on https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=http+error. Most of the request remain unanswered and just get closed. However, the user in the post

  had the same problem with Firefox and he had used the same workaround as I did: use the IE for uploading a single file. It is weird, but it seems to work, after this is done once. It feels like a temporary workaround, though.

  Now, a day later, I can see the same problem again:

  Now I have opened the edit page in the IE again, did NOT upload any file, tried to re-create the error and it is gone again.

  This is annoying. Dear wordpress team, please fix the problem! I am not the only one, who is experiencing this.
