UPDATE:
Confirmed: This has been fixed on the iOS 8.0.2 update.
Using PUT/POST to upload file(s) over HTTP seems to get stuck on Sending Request Headers on mobile Safari on iOS 8 GM build.
I have an example here:
This is the case even on http://m.facebook.com
- Try to add a photo to your status and it fails.
This only happens when the request contains a file. This is reproducible irrespective of having multiple enabled/disabled in the file input. Uploads work fine on Chrome on iOS 8.
Did anyone else experience this too? Is there a way to successfully send files over HTTP on iOS 8 Safari?

2, there's a workaround: simply drag a file or files onto the upload button. The upload buttons lights up when the cursor lands on top of them. Some sites are designed to allow drag-and-drop, and may show other animation or a confirmation as to the target.
This was a bug in iOS 8.0.0 and was fixed in 8.0.2. The file body is not included in the request payload, but Content-Length is set as if it is.
See blog post File uploads appear to be broken in Safari on iOS 8.

Update: Apple released iOS 8.0.2 yesterday and has fixed the upload bug.
File upload are broken in iOS 8.0. All files uploaded in Mobile Safari return 0-sized [1].
Hopefully this gets fixed by Apple in the next release. It seems like it is not affecting home screen webapps though:
File uploads are broken!! Every file upload is not working, you can select a file or take a picture and after that JavaScript will not get any data, as well as the server on a POST upload through HTML or XMLHttpRequest upload. The problem doesn’t seem to apply for home screen webapps.

We're seeing similar issues in WordPress. All iOS8 GM uploads lead to 408 (http status, timeouts). Strangely enough, iOS8b5 was leading to error-500. Uploads are peachy under 7.1.*.
