erissiva Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 boo - What? Um...It works fine. Was it down for a second?And that's such a bizarre error. Here's more about it:http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E412.htmlThis error seldom occurs in most Web traffic, particularly when the client system is a Web browser. The problem can only be resolved by examining what your client system is trying to do then discussing with your ISP why the Web server fails the 'Precondition' specification sent by the client system.Most commonly, this is caused by mod_security filtering. Some hosting companies use mod_security or other similar systems to block POST requests containing certain key words or suspicious symbols, in order to prevent comment spam or hack attempts. Occasionally these security rules can block legitimate requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway this is the first time I have ever experienced this error What do you mean to allow HTTP headers through? Most things are allowed in my sygate firewall.From what I understood of erissiva post, is that its an ISP issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auhsor Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I think I'm starting to like the forums a bit more now. Although the text size really needs to be decreased. I keep having to do it manually when I come here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1c3d0g Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Yeah, in Sygate there's an option to block headers (it's masked as a "privacy option"). Just unselect that option and you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
