serendipity xmlrpc and mod_security

hello

i like blogging via my offline blogging tool but there are some problems using s9y xmlrpc with mod_security.

png uploads will be denied and also entries with embed objects.
the funny thing on this is - same entry - same picture via xml rpc to an wordpress blog - same server - same mod_security works pretty fine.

why ?

Hi!

What are the mod_security logging reasons? Why does it block something? There must be something in the error logs...

Best regards,
Garvin

i dont know the reasons but now it works
i think mod_security updated some rulez which allows png upload.
the problem with embed objects is the syntax which can also be used for attacks.

but thanks for helping or trying to do it.

Hi!

I am sorry, I cant help you. But perhaps you can help me! :-)

Which offline blogging tool do you use? I am searching for one for me, and my favourite one (bloggar) has problems with s9y. So, perhaps yours is a new one to me. :-)

Thanks!

are you using windows or mac os x


i bought ecto and it was a good buy.
there is also a windows version - try it.

for windows there are a lot of good freeware or open source offline blogging tools. use google or some forums.
