As the last version of Apache2::UploadProgress was released in 2006, you might want to test it, and see if it's still a problem ... or if any new ones have cropped up against other browsers.

Edit the file /extras/progress.js, and modify line 85 as follows:

-    req.open('GET', url, Boolean(handleUploadProgressResults));
+    req.open('GET', url, false);

It appears that the call to handleUploadProgressResults will always return true in Chrome/Safari. No idea why, but modifying (hardcoding) this to false does get things working.

I don't dispute the observation, but neither the original code nor the patch makes sense. At that line, handleUploadProgressResults is NOT called; it's a reference which will be non-null, hence the Boolean will be true. It's a convoluted way of expressing 'true'. That argument to XMLHttpRequest() *should* be true - false makes the request blocking (synchronous), which is always a bad idea as it can hang the browser. If false makes the code work, something else is broken. Perhaps there is some global variable that should be in a closure. This needs more investigation...
