strangest bug ever! ".images"

hi

i am currently having trouble overcoming the strangest bug ever.

i was pasting a javascript code inside of a chunk and modx kept refusing to save it... so i kept taking off line by line and finally figured out what was the source of the problem: the string ".images" !!!

".image" is ok... ".iages" is ok... "images" is ok... but ".images" is not

creating a new chunk with only the string ".images" inside either doesn’t want to save.

this is the strangest thing ever... when i try to save the chunk the ERROR page appears... is there something i should know?

can anybody please try it out and see if it happens?

i am using modx 9.6.3 btw

thank you!

nope, works fine (with or without quotes). What’s the entire JS bit you’re trying to save as a chunk?

I suspect your server is running mod_security, often discussed here.

the script itself is pretty much irrelevant cause the error also happens when the only text in the chunk is ".images"...

i’m using totalchoicehosting and have no clue how to check or modify the mod_security restrictions it has...

but i have even less of a clue as to why ".images" causes an error...

anyways, don’t worry, i deleted that line, cause anyways it was related to something in netscape 4, and really, who cares about netscape 4

thank!

We offered the explanation; it’s mod_security blocking that content in POSTs. I recommend contacting your provider to discuss how to remove these restrictions from the MODx manager directory.

thank you, i will do that.
