 * I’m trying to upload a pdf of 1.10mb via Media Library, Add New. Just uploaded
   two others – one 4.61mb and the other 835kb with absolutely no problems. With
   the third one I keep getting an error message which simply says ‘http error’,
   no other information. Can’t find the solution in the forums.
    No point in linking
   to site as wouldn’t be apparent.

 * I was one of the people having the same issue a few days ago but mine was with
   jpg’s and I had no issues loading other things though. I posted about it but 
   the issue seemed to have resolved itself within 48 hours. I have no idea was 
   the problem was so I can’t give you have fix 🙁

 * I’ve still got the problem. However uploading via the browser seems to work, 
   but not via WordPress uploader.

 * I can’t longer upload pdf’s. I get http error. I tried to upload to folder using
   cpanel. It works fine… almost. I can see uploaded pdf file in the server’s folder
   but not in WP media library. I can upload photos normally using drag/drop tool.
 * I tried also to use upload single file with WP file browser but it ends to http
   404 error
 * I earlier I was able to upload pdf.
