Should we move this to the ckan-dev list? Also if you are able to drop
into IRC (#ckan on freenode) we can probably debug this very quickly
:-)

Can you point me to exact url of docs you read. I would point that
default manual at http://docs.ckan.org/ is for v1.6! (not v1.5.1 - for
v1.5.1 you need http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-1.5.1/index.html). I note
that for v1.5.1 you need to install ckanext-storage which I assume you
have.

This won't be to do with Webstore. What happens if you visit:

http://{your-ckan-instance}/api/storage/auth/form/xyz

That's the API the upload stuff calls to get permission and
credentials for upload.
