Original bug title: UploadWizard should not use iframe transport for upload_by_url requests to the wiki-own-API (FlickrUploading) Follow-up Bug 65406 There is no reason why UploadWizard uses a complicated iframe technique to send a simple XHR to the API. The XHR has no file attached so, disregarding abstraction, $.post() would do the job in all browsers.
Change 168556 had a related patch set uploaded by Gilles: Make flickr import use postWithToken instead of iframe transport https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/168556
