Your server is probably running apache with mod_security enabled.
The mod_security module looks at the content of incoming requests
(including scanning the contents of POST data) and if it sees anything
suspicious it blocks the request with the "Forbidden" message.

A quick check may be to try saving a page with the string "file(s)"

 quick check may be to try saving a page with the string "file(s)"
Deleted lines 4-17:
For sites that are using ISO-8859-1 encoding (which is PmWiki's default),
mod_security will often block pages containing Latin-1 characters
outside of the ASCII set.  This isn't an issue with UTF-8 encoded sites
-- but then again, UTF-8 has its own set of issues to deal with.

There's little that PmWiki can do to work more cleanly with mod_security,
since the post is blocked between the browser and the webserver, before
PmWiki ever receives it.  If you do find that it's mod_security that
is causing the issue, you might see if your administrator can disable
it for the wiki. 

Hope this helps,

Your server is probably running apache with mod_security enabled
.
The mod_security module looks at the content of incoming requests
(including scanning the contents of POST data) and if it sees anything
suspicious it blocks the request with the "Forbidden" message.

A quick check may be to try saving a page with the string "file(s)"
in it (including the "(
s)" part) -- if you get the Forbidden message
then it's likely that mod_security is the culprit
.

For sites that are using ISO-8859-1 encoding (which is PmWiki's default),
mod_security will often block pages containing Latin-1 characters
outside of
the ASCII set.  This isn't an issue with UTF-8 encoded sites
-- but then again, UTF-8 has its own set of issues to deal with
.

There's little that PmWiki can do to work more cleanly with mod_security,
since the post is blocked between the browser
and the webserver, before
PmWiki ever receives it
.  If you do find that it's mod_security that
is causing the issue, you might see if your administrator can disable
it for the wiki. 

Hope this helps

* [[http://www.gemmary.com/|The Gemmary Antique Scientific Instruments and Old & Rare Books]] - both a dealer and store front for sales on consignment.  Pricing tends to conform to the high quality of both the objects and the great care and expertise with which they are described, questions answered, and orders executed.  The proprietor, Dr RC Blankenhorn is a well known expert in this field.

You are absolutely on your own in judging the merit of the items on offer.  Dates and descriptions are often on a scale of misleading to fanciful. Things advertised as "rare" are more often than not not.

!!! Online stores
Some useful stores of antique scientific instruments. (Calculant has no financial connection with any of these stores and cannot vouch for anything advertised. Caveat Emptor applies!)

* http://www.fleaglass.com/

->Fleaglass - a store front for a range of private sellers and dealers for various categories of antique scientific instruments including those for calculation

* http://www.gemmary.com/

->The Gemmary Antique Scientific Instruments and Old & Rare Books - both a dealer and store front for sales on consignment.  Pricing tends to conform to the high quality of both the objects and the great care and expertise with which they are described, questions answered, and orders executed.  The proprietor, Dr RC Blankenhorn is a well known expert in this field.

->ebay Australia, http://ebay.de

->ebay Germany,  http://ebay.at

->ebay Austria, http://ebay.fr

->ebay France, http://www.ebay.co.uk/

->ebay UK,  http://www.ebay.it/

->ebay Italy and in general //ebay// around the world is probably the prime location for purchase of the more common (and some less common) antique calculation devices and books.  Prices are very variable and if you are lucky ridiculously cheap (or conversely absurdly expensive). You are absolutely on your own in judging the merit of the items on offer.  Dates and descriptions are often on a scale of misleading to fanciful. Things advertised as "rare" are more often than not not.

Some useful stores of antique scientific instruments. (Calculant has no financial connection with any of these stores and cannot vouch for anything advertised. Caveat Emptor applies!)

You are absolutely on your own in judging the merit of the items on offer.  Dates and descriptions are often on a scale of misleading to fanciful. Things advertised as "rare" are more often than not not.
