I tried uploading a photo to facebook, and kept getting a "one sentence" postback from facebook saying the image could not be uploaded. I tried it 3-4 times, just to make sure it was not a temporary thing on their side. Then I ran setenforce 0, and the image uploaded fine. So I assumed selinux was blocking firefox from reading the image. I've been trying to duplicate the result with SELinux enforcing though, after rebooting, and now I can upload images without a problem, so I'm wondering whether it was just a coincidence that setenforce 0 worked. If no one else has the problem, then it's probably just a coincidence. I have a better idea on how to isolate the message in the log now, so if it happens again, I'll hopefully be able to get a better grasp on why.
Thanks,
- Ole
