Does this happen when following the 'Upload' link on the sidebar as well?
No, it does not, but I think our URL rewrite rules may have something to
do
with this issue. A link from a File mediawiki link looks like this:
http://elinux.org/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Android_test...
Does that URL look ok?
Yes, that looks fine. Hmm... some quick testing:
no login:
http://elinux.org/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Android_test... ok login:
http://elinux.org/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Android_test...
ok login: http://elinux.org/Empty_page ok login: http://elinux.org/Empty_page_png no login: http://elinux.org/Empty_page.png ok login: http://elinux.org/Empty_page.abc no login: http://elinux.org/Empty_page.txt
Might there be some kind of rule that's eating cookies if the URL (including query string) ends in what looks like a static file extension?
It turned out to be an issue with the Varnish Cache. Varnish noticed the .jpg or .png or whatever so it assumed it was an image (because Varnish had a rule to assume as much) and therefore cached the upload page.
The admin added an exception triggered by the "Special:Upload" string in the URL.
