Sending an XMLHttpRequest in POST mode - whether synchronous or asynchronous - is somehow triggering the server's 403 Forbidden error. Sending the request in GET mode works fine, so perhaps the browser is mangling the URL somehow.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Code to reproduce:
var callback = function(){alert(arguments[0]);};
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
function testAjax(params, async) {
if (async) {
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4) {
callback(xmlhttp.responseText);
}
};
}
var postUrl = 'http://gabrielgilder.com/test/test.php';
xmlhttp.open("POST", postUrl, async);
xmlhttp.send(params);
if (!async) {
callback(xmlhttp.responseText);
}
return false;
}
Actual Results:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>403 Forbidden</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>Forbidden</H1>

Expected Results:
Successful XMLHttpRequest to this script would simply return the parameters passed to it as plain text.

Sorry, this actually appears to be a server issue with mod_security, not a bug.
