Many users of Wordpress have faced this annoying error thats returned by Wordpress while trying to post an image known as the "HTTP Error".
Its caused by the default settings that may be in place by your web host / blog host provider that uses mod_security.
So if your a Wordpress user, that has recieved the following error while trying to add an image to a post, use the fix below.
WordPress Fix for HTTP Error for Image Uploader
Add this piece of code to your .htaccess file to resolve the error until Wordpress developers come up with a solution.
Code:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>
If you don't have an .htaccess file in the root of your site, create it using notepad and then upload it where wp-config.php is located.
