Hi,

I looked at the error log while trying to edit an arbitrary page LyX/LyxFunctions, and when I press save in the edit form, this shows up in the log

[Thu Mar 26 00:18:34 2009] [error] [client 201.38.240.167] ModSecurity: Access denied with code 400 (phase 2). Pattern match "\\\\%(?!$|\\\\W|[0-9a-fA-F]{2}|u[0-9a-fA-F]{4})" at ARGS:text. [id "950107"] [msg "URL Encoding Abuse Attack Attempt"] [severity "WARNING"] [hostname "wiki.lyx.org"] [uri "/LyX/LyxFunctions?action=edit"] [unique_id "t-bZsNTJRSsAAFdQ568AAAAB"]

It's a bit strange to me, especially as the first request that generates the web page with the edit form looks the same, i.e.
        /LyX/LyxFunctions?action=edit

The difference between the two requests could be that first one is a GET, whereas the second one is a POST.


Any ideas?

/Christian
