400 Bad Request – Loading image via browser media upload

  • Hi All

    I’ve been trying to track down a problem with HTTP errors when uploading media. 2 of the 5 sites on my server have this problem .

    Using a HTTP sniffer I found the 2 calls, one goes ok, the other gets a 400 error. I wonder if any of you smart folk can spot a problem?

    So far…
    1. I do not think there is a server wide setting as some site work fine.
    2. If I copy the offending sites onto a fresh server they also work OK – so I don’t believe it is a plug in or site problem

    So I’m thinking its a local setting. but specific to the individual website

    Thanks in Advance!!

    Hi

    After many many hours looking at this – it turns out to be caused by Google Pagespeed. After removing one of the offending sites from pagespeed I was able to upload images > 100KB with no problem, although I am yet to find out if its possible to fix this with the site being within pagespeed

    Thanks
