There is something in this response which is both heartening and
surprising. It appears because the Yahoo guys are referring to the
swfupload forum pages that the YUI uploader and swfupload are, in
fact, one in the same. I had always assumed that they'd written their
own using the same technique, my mistake.

Hi,
I asked our friend Nate Koetchley at Yahoo! about our concerns with
Flash-based uploaders and HTTPS. Here's what his team had to say
about the YUI Uploader as an example.
Hope this helps,

Begin forwarded message:
The only issue that I've seen come up with HTTPS had to do with
the certificate path matching. Biao from APEX team encountered
this, and here's what he had to say:
It seems that Flash upload works in FF over HTTPS with a regular
purchased
certificate:
http://swfupload.org/forum/generaldiscussion/347
Someone suggested that we make sure "host name in the request
matches the
host name in the cert with a fully qualified path".
http://swfupload.org/forum/generaldiscussion/117
I noticed our certs were attributed to
"*.marketingsolutions.yahoo.com",
when the actual server was
"ac4intcrtvui1.marketingsolutions.yahoo.com", so
I'm seeing if I can get that changed.
This bug report I found has comments that support both these
theories:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-13196
I haven't investigated this closely, but this is all I am aware of
so far.
Of course there's still that cookie issue in Firefox that they
need to be aware of, and proper crossdomain permissions as well.
