Re: Apache fails to process a particular user-agent (Apache Users)

Hi Paul,

Hi List - newbie so please be gentle!

I am trying to get a LAMP server (Ubuntu 14.02/PHP5.6/Mysql/CodeIgniter2.2) installation to process a callback from "WebPurify(callback)" user-agent.

I can see the callback in the access log.

If I paste the callback string into my browser everything works fine and CI re-routes the URL to the appropriate controller/method and I get my DB update.

But at the moment I cannot get it to work under the covers. I'm feeling the user-agent is the key but I cannot find any mention of how to fix this.

Any help greatly appreciated, thx, Paul

the description of the problem is really generic and in order to help we'd need to know more details like:

1) the httpd config and the httpd version

2) the exact request that is failing

3) access and error log entries of httpd

4) etc..

If you want a more interactive help there is also the awesome #httpd channel on IRC Freenode.

The only suggestion that I can give to you at the moment is to enable https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_dumpio.html and inspect what httpd sees to follow up on your suspicion about the user agent.

Let us know!
