I don’t get it either. I just upgraded to the Pro version and did a clean install, so all htaccess files are the BPS standards. The # Request methods filtered are present in both files, and have not...

I just made a HEAD Request to your website and got a 200 OK Response so if the # REQUEST METHODS FILTERED .htaccess code is in your root .htaccess file then something is overriding the Request Method...

I forgot to mention that – I already checked that, but just double-checked again – so straight from the root .htaccess through FTP: # REQUEST METHODS FILTERED # This filter is for blocking junk bots...

Or maybe your web host is doing something in the Server’s httpd.conf file that is preventing this .htaccess directive from working? Before going too deep at looking at things on your website you...

OK – I asked them the question. No doubt it will take some time for them to respond, as soon as they do I will post their reply. Thank you for now.

Yep, sure. I have never heard of a Host doing something like this before, but if they were doing something like this then they would be using the AllowOverride directive in the Server’s httpd.conf...

Correction: You do NOT need to whitelist your Server’s IP address – it is recommended, but not required. Yes, you are correct that if your URL’s have a trailing backslash and/or you have a...

I just retested it this with my server IP address and it works perfectly. That will teach me to read the instructions more carefully! Thanks.

Your .* is why it is working since I was mistaken about the Server IP address. I cannot remember why that is needed anymore, but there are cases where the Server’s IP address is needed for the code...

You were right. It is caused by the hosting provider; they confirmed today that method filtering in the .htaccess file is ignored for their standard hosting accounts. For your information: this...

Wow I am kind of surprised since this is the first Host I have ever heard of that is doing this, but logically it makes sense for them to do something like this. My guess it is some kind of Brute...

David, first thing is always look at the IP where the bot came from. If you google “Whois 10.168.1.23″ then the first result is this page: http://ip.domaintasks.com/10.168.1.22 you can see that...

Oops as Schneider pointed out the problem is that 10.168.1.23 is not a valid Public IP address and that is why the problem is occurring. My coffee had not kicked in yet. ;) A 10. IP address is a...
