The upload dialog should handle upload errors caused by network connection issues better. Example from IRC:
<BrownFig21> Anybody know what this error means when attempting to upload an img? http://puu.sh/ogVW1/f226fc20a3.png
There's some error code for timeouts as well, which I don't think we handle either.
Change 361885 had a related patch set uploaded (by Matthias Mullie; owner: Matthias Mullie):
[mediawiki/core@master] Perform chunked uploads from upload dialog
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/339371/ & https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/361884/ add chunked upload support to mw.api.
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/361885/ will let upload dialog use these.
I expect chunked uploading to be more resilient to these issues: instead of 1 huge chunk that could fail anytime, it'll split it up into multiple chunks, each of which will be re-attempted (once, by default) should it fail.
Next up: look into that horrible error message.
