 * ATTENTION:
    Recent upgrades to all hostgator.com shared and reseller servers 
   have resulted in the Image Upload HTTP Error Fix plugin ceasing to work.
 * FIX: Uninstall/Deactivate Image Upload HTTP Error Fix.
 * REASON:
    The company has upgraded all of their servers to Apache 2.2.x, and mod_security
   2. Because of this, the SecFilterEngine and SecFilterRemove statements placed
   in the .htaccess file will cause a 500 Internal Server Error, as they are no 
   longer recognized by Apache2/mod_Sec2.
 * An associate of mine who works with HostGator has assured me that the majority
   of users should not be affected by the upload error, under the new mod_security
   rulesets. However, should a user experience a problem, sending an e-mail to HostGator
   support will result in a quick fix (whitelisting of the domain against the rule
   trigger).
 * NOTICE: This is an unofficaial posting. I have no authority to speak for HostGator,
   I’m just relaying information. (Yes, I do host there.)
