Using the flash upload does not seem to work behind an authenticating proxy

It seems the flash multi file upload does not work behind a proxy. As found on the YUI upload pages as well:

Because of Flash limitations, the uploader behavior when working through a proxy server is inconsistent and unreliable.

There are some other also interesting statements:

Because of Flash limitations, the uploader does not support basic authentication.
When uploading to HTTPS servers, be aware that Flash does not support self-signed certificates. You would need to obtain certificates from a recognized certificate authority.

It would be good to put these on the hippo documentation website, because this means people might run into these problems while installing on their servers.
