Error 404!?!

krassi_holmz · 2006-12-09 04:01:25

I was posting in the Help section, when some screen saying that there's error 404 and I do not have access to /forum/post on this server on port 80???

Here's the source of the page I got:

Hmm...that very rarely happens. It occurs when you type lruc (backwards), or in brackets. I have no idea why this happens, it must be some sort of weird database glitch/bug.

That revelation is enough to make my toes curl.
OK not really.

Hmm... could have been a small hiccup on the server. No on else noticed anything curly happen?

Type that word like this;

[ lruc ]

[curl]

Devantè · 2006-12-10 02:09:50

No, do it with spaces, so, instead of it being [lruc], it would be; [ lruc ].

MathsIsFun · 2006-12-10 09:06:00

My goodness gracious me! It works!

mathsyperson · 2006-12-10 11:53:18

Watch and be amazed as I [ curl] the laws of the forum to my will. In this case, that will being to prove you wrong.

That's really weird.

Maybe....

Just "curl_" is enough where _ is a space.

ORLY

[ curl]

Copyface.

Devantè · 2006-12-11 08:47:01

Actually my screen displayed the text differently. Kinda weird.

Good discussion of it here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/20758

So at this stage I think the message is being intercepted by security - curl is a command, and because malicious software *could* use it (even embedded in a message) it simply disallows the whole thing.

It is like the security at the airport - you go "beep" and a guard steps in.

(BTW: I used "curl" here by making sure it had something around it, like quotes or bold)
