BPS – plugin HEAD Request Method filter problem detected
-
Hello, my BLC version is v1.8.3
I am using the BPS plugin
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/bulletproof-security/On upgrading to the latest version 49.1 ….
I get an error message from BPS“Broken Link Checker plugin HEAD Request Method filter problem detected”
and an advisory to do this
https://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/broken-link-checker-plugin-403-error/# REQUEST METHODS FILTERED
# This filter is for blocking junk bots and spam bots from making a HEAD request, but may also block some
# HEAD request from bots that you want to allow in certains cases. This is not a security filter and is just
# a nuisance filter. This filter will not block any important bots like the google bot. If you want to allow
# all bots to make a HEAD request then remove HEAD from the Request Method filter.
# The TRACE, DELETE, TRACK and DEBUG request methods should never be allowed against your website.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|DELETE|TRACK|DEBUG) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ – [F,L]==================
1) have you seen this before, any impact for BLC ? Will it still work ?
2) what do you think of the advisory – make the change ?many thanks
Phil
