Topic: Bug?

When I post a message with the following text:

"curl up"

I get the following error:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /post.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Any ideas?

Re: Bug?

1st: If you post any other text then it works OK?
Otherwise it looks like your permissions/paths are screwed up.

2nd: If this is a bug then it should be in the Bug Report forum tongue

Re: Bug?

I get it too. The word "curl " (needs a space) causes problems. Also "wget ". Any ideas?

It came up on my forum here: http://www.mathsisfun.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5346

And a member found a discussion on another forum here: http://forums.asmallorange.com/lofivers … t3631.html

Re: Bug?

It is almost certainly due to mod_security settings

Oh, and in the future, please try not to bump year old topics? wink

Re: Bug?

Thanks Smartys, found a good topic on it here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/20758

I resurrected this topic coz it was what I found on a search, and others are likely to find it too.

Re: Bug?

Actually, I'm with MathIsFun on this. I really don't mind that people bump old topics if what they're posting is on topic.

Fine with me, I just personally dislike the "Me too" types of posts, especially in older topics tongue
