Space Commander Travis Posted June 30, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I kept trying to close that by clicking the red cross in the top right-hand corner. It took me at least five minutes to realise it was a screenshot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted June 30, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Anyway, what is a 406 Error? well, of course. If the server cannot send data in a format requested in the Accept header, the server sends the 406 Not Acceptable error. The error can also be generated by the mod_security module. Mod_security, a type of firewall program that runs on Apache web server, scans for violations of the rules it has set.3 Oct 2014 There's your problem there. Blame Mod Security.

ChrLzs Posted June 30, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Unless you are doing something really weird with your browser, you should not normally get a 406 - it's an indication that the webpage is trying to use some features that are not accepted by the server.. and of course that webpage is UM's, not yours.. It was probably a brief configuration problem at UM's end. If it's working now, don't worry about it. Norbert, thanks for your admission.... it made me laugh. Of course I've never done that sort of thing.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted June 30, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 30, 2015 It's likely to have been a fluke due to a chance combination of factors - if it keeps happening though let me know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hammerclaw Posted June 30, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Web browsers make a request for information from the server. When this happens, it sends an Accept header. This tells the server in what formats the browser can accept the data. If the server cannot send data in a format requested in the Accept header, the server sends the 406 Not Acceptable error. The error can also be generated by the mod_security module, usually a type of firewall program that runs on the web server, scans for violations of the rules it has set. If an action occurs that violates one of these rules, the server will throw a 406 error. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acute Posted July 3, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I thought a 406 was an armed prostitute in a crack-house. Maybe I've been watching too much 'Cops'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
