Hi,

if you add http://www.youtube.com/watch?id=bla bla
some hosts will kill the page cause it conflicts with mod_security.

[ridahost]

i am asking about the solution please

[PHPVibe A.]

Exclude the sharing pages from the mod_security rules would be the solution (but since you are on shared, not sure if they are going to help), or choose an hosting without mod_security (or one configured to allow http:// in $_POST).

Did we ever get to the bottom of this issue? I am having the same problem!

Just spoke to GoDaddy, the same provider as the initial poster. They have told me that it's not something they block.

However, they did say that the max upload size is 32MB on their shared hosting.

[PHPVibe A.]

Walk me trough it, upload vs sharing, different pages and handlers.
If you add youtube.com/ without http:// does it work?

[markzipps]

Yeah, I can understand the confusion. I was merely making a point that I will probably have to move to a dedicated anyway as 32MB is not going to cut it for uploads.

It works without the http://. why doesn't it work with this included?

[PHPVibe A.]

This is the reason

Exclude the sharing pages from the mod_security rules would be the solution (but since you are on shared, not sure if they are going to help), or choose an hosting without mod_security (or one configured to allow http:// in $_POST).

If you move to dedicated or VPS, or ask them to remove the security rule for your account it will work fine.
Meanwhile we are working to provide some sort of pre-Post encryption to avoid this.

Thanks for your help. I have just setup a VPS with LeaseWeb. They were not prepared to remove the security.
