Flash Uploader on Mac not triggering onComplete event

We have had a whole bunch of issues with the Flash 8 uploader on OS/X in the past. Now its completely broken on leopard, but before we weren't able to do multi-file uploads because the 'onComplete' event wasn't triggered from within flash.

We've been using a (modified) version of SWFUpload and also our Flash applications have had this issue..

Today I read on The Joy of Flex-blog that there's actually a really simple solution to this problem. Have your PHP (or other server-side) simply return some data. Our upload-endpoint normally always returned nothing at all, because it seemed unnecessary, but returning a small body in your HTTP response fixes the issue!

As you can tell, I'm excited.
