Description

At the moment, all of Uploader's public APIs (options, events, and some methods) reflect a built-in bias towards the design of SWFUpload. This was done pragmatically at the time--SWFUpload was the only strategy we had available at the time.

However, now that we have the HTML 5 upload strategy, it's time to revisit all our options, events and public method signatures to ensure they are most useful to our users, regardless of which strategy they are using.

As an example to illustrate this issue, we expose SWFUpload's approach to specifying file types, which is awkward and non-standard.

    Due to a cross site scripting vulnerability we have removed flash support from the uploader. See FLUID-5354
