curl or wget in post topic causes error

We are still running 1.1.2.  If someone does a post with wget or curl in the topic text the forum will error out and will not post.  This feels like some type of measure to prevent an exploit.  Is there a work around?

1.1.2? You mean, 18 versions behind 1.1.20?

Excellent. thank you guys.  Yes, that's the version I mean.

Is mod_security know for causing other issues?  The forum seemed to recently grow all sorts of little bugs and I've been blaming it on an overused server, but now I'm wondering if its the module?

You really really really need to upgrade ASAP.

Seriously, you are so far behind in security releases that it is a miracle you have no already been hacked.

Sorry, that above was a typo, we are using 1.1.20.

mod_security is notorious for being used on hosts like GoDaddy and many other oversellers. To read some more about it, there is an article on the Wiki about it.
