I write not as a user of Mod-Security, but as a victim. As a web surfer
in the Paranoid++ category, I am encountering an increasing number of
senseless roadblocks on blog sites due to my security configuration,
none of them giving me specific information about what's gone wrong. I
want to know what I can do about it.
As of late, when browsing the web, I have been running into an
increasing number of denials in this form:
---
Not Acceptable!
An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be
found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security.
---
I figure that this is about 79% due to mod_sec setups that are poorly or
entirely unconfigured, and 19% due to my extremely conservative proxy
config. I browse with a local (admittedly old) Internet Junkbuster
proxy, and relay through my ISP's Privoxy/Squid setup. I want to find
out what this setup is doing to trigger these Not Acceptable responses,
and what I can do to fix it.
