Forbidden access

[pattinso]

i keep getting the error:
------------------
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /wjp/grvs/calendar.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
-------------------
every time i enter "http://" or "https://" into a form's field labeled MAP. It only happens in that field, and with those characters entered. Anything else and it works fine. In fact other fields will accept these strings without a problem. It works fine on my local test system.

The form being filled is in "function replaceEvent()" -- I uploaded the file as a .TXT file.

Any idea what might be wrong? What other information can I provide to track down the error?

Hi pattinso,

On our free hosting servers, we use mod_security to help protect our customers' websites. This will automatically block any "suspicious" requests, to help prevent common attacks and spam bots.

It looks like that your submission is matching a mod_security rule, which is why you are seeing the 403 Forbidden error. This is happening because you are submitting a URL on the field fmap. Mod_security usually allows URLs from certain field names (such as those containing "url" and "link"), which is why this is affecting the fmap field but not the flinkshow field.

You might be able to fix this by renaming the "fmap" field to something else.

Thank you,

Thank you! That worked great.
