I don't want to be a jerk but for some reason I don't seem to be able to
remember right away this recurring problem.
I get access denied because of the user agent "Indy Library".
I don't know if anyone else gets it but......

Since this is obviously a problem with hackers and easily over come
by removing "Indy Library" from the HTTP.UserAgent, why not just leave
that out? No sense in creating a problem for new users of Indy.


[Fri Nov 23 14:48:31 2007] [error] [client 69.39.70.123] mod_security:
Access denied with code 403. Pattern match "Indy Library" at
HEADER("USER-AGENT") [severity "EMERGENCY"] [hostname "www.jala-mi.org"]
