Wordpress and the nasty error “HTTP error” - how to fix?

I admit that the new version of wordpress, 2.5.1, has a few bugs but I don’t understand how they actually released the package with a nasty bug that doesn’t allow you to upload images via your wp-admin. It is funny and a pain in the a**, in the same time, that you can’t upload images with a main future for wordpress. Actually I think a lot of wp users are using this option, because it is the simplest way, rather than upload the images with a ftp software. On the other hand, I think that for some users who are not familiar with computers and wordpress, the solution for the problem is hard to fix.

The error shows when you try to upload images with the default option from wp, it displays something like HTTP error in a red font color. The only solution for this problem is to add a piece of code into your .htaccess file, from the root of your wordpress installation directory. Add the code below everything you have in the file I mentioned:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>

This will help and I hope the boys from wordpress will fix this nasty error in a future update!
