This is commonly caused by an over-aggressive configuration of your server’s mod_security module. Try asking your hosts about it.
I have a dedicated server and have disabled mod_security in my httacess.
I have contact my server and there are no issues that they can find.
I have disabled ALL plugins and used the twenty fourteen theme.
I cannot upload any images over 100kb or I receive an HTTP error message.
I am out of options and this issue is the cause of loss sales and customers using other vendors.
This needs to be addressed ASAP.

These volunteer staffed support forums don’t really do “ASAP”. 😉
After upgrading to WordPress 3.9 I receive a “HTTP ERROR” whenever trying to upload any media or image file.
When you upload 100kb+ sized images and you get the “HTTP ERROR” there should be a error log entry in your web server’s error_log file. That’s not a WordPress generated error but from your web server. What does your log file day when that happens?
If you don’t know where to find that file then your host should be able to provide you that info. The timestamp on that entry should line up with that error.
There is no message in my error log associated with the “HTTP ERROR” message.
There are only two error logs noted for today:
[Tue May 06 12:52:48 2014] [error] [client 173.22.211.85] client denied by server configuration: /home/sitename/public_html/wp-content/uploads/edd/2014/01/
[Tue May 06 12:52:46 2014] [error] [client 173.22.211.85] client denied by server configuration: /home/sitename/public_html/wp-content/uploads/edd/2014/01/
I have tried dozens of times to upload today and would expect to see many more error messages related.
I appreciate your support and apologize for my demanding tone. I understand you are volunteers but it is frustrating to see sales and customers go somewhere else.

No no, don’t sweat the ASAP. You’ve a problem and this is a support forum. It’s all good. 😉
Is there anything in the regular access log that matches your timestamp for those errors? It works for less than 100kb files… do you know what the settings are for your php.ini file for these settings?
post_max_size
upload_max_filesize
PHP Version: 5.2.17
MySQL Version: 5.1.73-cll
Web Server Info: Apache
WordPress Memory Limit: 40MB
PHP Safe Mode: No
PHP Memory Limit: 256M
PHP Upload Max Size: 128M
PHP Post Max Size: 64M
PHP Upload Max Filesize: 128M
PHP Time Limit: 360
PHP Max Input Vars:
PHP Arg Separator: &
PHP Allow URL File Open: Yes
WP_DEBUG: Disabled
I am still looking through my access logs to find some matching time stamps. Nothing yet…

That looks reasonable. Can you get from phpinfo() the apache modules you have loaded?
