Sarcarasm is another way of expressing "don't provide free support to me"

For you and other who might read this thread:
Following the steps in Upload Troubleshooting and Asking for Support on Upload Issues is required because simply put it is a known and proven method of testing servers, installations and generating error messages. Would you ask an auto mechanic to repair your car without giving him the keys?

Not on my server's setup. Are you self hosted?
 Did you read the docs?
New batch-add interface doesn't work on all server setups. Users who have issues with it should use the classic interface instead.

Sarcasm is not intended.  You have to remember that a) I'm not sure WHAT JM wants, b) I really do want to know if we are referring to different things using the same words and c) he's in Germany and I find that sarcasm based on English doesn't work well on people that don't speak that as their native tongue.

Additionally, this is the only place of support.  I understand that JM is a bit ... testy ... and I also know he bans folks after one or two posts, if he feels like it. 

> Would you ask an auto mechanic to repair your car without giving him the keys?
I would ask the auto mechanic if he thinks I need to bring in my car before I do a whole bunch of needless troubleshooting.  And I did.

> Not on my server's setup.
That's all I wanted to hear.  Thank you.

> Are you self hosted? Did you read the docs?
No.  Yes.

I've beta-tested several web-based apps and several Microsoft apps.  I'm also a computer tech.  Yes, I RTFM.  In this thread, however, I didn't see anything that says, "You must post this!" and I don't feel comfortable giving out admin passwords and such over the internet.

I'm rather disappointed in the way this thread has turned.  I was attempting to help JM, et al, improve their product and/or find out if I actually have problems.  I get one thread locked after one post -- after I haven't posted in 4 years -- and I get people posting here that are a tad unpleasant.

Thank you for your time.  I'm no longer interested in pursuing this.

For other users who may experience similar (and something that I may consider adding to the docs), if you experience problems like this where you are not sure if you have a server issue or not then you can save a lot of time by using something like Wamp and doing a local install of coppermine in that. In under 10 minutes and with no waiting for responses on a support forum you can have a setup on your desktop that you can play with to your hearts content for testing purposes.

Nibbler:
Can someone verify that URI uploads can be achieved by entering an URI into the file upload box? If so this needs to be prevented. I can't replicate this using Firefox on Linux.

phill104:
Yes Nibbler, URL uploads do work on the flash interface and on the simple interface.

Thanks to Prisoner_24601 for making us aware.

I'll start a bug thread and mark this one as closed.
