I'm having a very similar issue as VRoxane. I'm getting the 'HTTP Error' message and no error output with Director::set_environment_type('dev'), UploadifyField::show_debug(), and PHP error reporting on (http://www.beehiveholdings.com/test.php).
I've used Wireshark to see what's going on and it looks like the authentication is failing. Here's the Wireshark captured HTTP response:
