[pmwiki-users] Getting strange 403 errors

[Doron Solomon]

Hi Allister,

'curl' is a tool that comes with many Unix distributions, used for 
transferring data to or from a server.  The official cURL web site is 
http://curl.haxx.se/, and you can see the manpage for this command at 
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html.  I guess that the wiki is somehow 
interpreting this word as a command.

To get around this problem, try escaping the word 'curl' in your page; e.g.:

This is a sentence with [=curl=] in it.

If that doesn't work, you could always try disabling or uninstalling curl, 
if you have no other use for it.

I've just done a snot-load of investigating on what, precisely upsets it
because I discovered that if I just put "xx" as the page content, it allowed
me to save with no problems.  By slowly eliminating sections of the text I
was cutting and pasting into the page I discovered that the above error is
generated if your page contains the following string:

"curl "

Note that there has to be a space after the word.  If the word ends a line,
then it works fine.

HUH????  What is this all about???
