Strange behaviour with Forms : 404 redirect when saving

This is indeed a strange behaviour i am experiencing.

I have a form in my website were i have put all the HTML code for the <head> tag. I was updating this form today and, unexpectedly, when saving it, i got a 404 error. After some testing i have found the blame is to the script tag.

So, if a put the <script> tag in the form to call my Javascripts, the form is not saved and it is redirected to my 404 error page. I have tried saving a new form, only with a script tag and i get the same behaviour.

Otherwise, form saving is working fine.

I am using TXP 4.0.3.

If you can trace the behaviour to certain keywords used, like “script” then this probably applies:

Unsure if the problem lies there.

I have just done a fresh install of the textpattern code and have disabled all plugins.

I tried your suggestion:

Created a new form, with the only text in it being <code>script</code>. The form saves well and gets updated.

Then i tried saving it only with <code><script></code> and got redirected to the 404 page and had the following warning:

Warning: unknown_tag in public_html/textpattern/publish.php on line 911

Yes, when I said keyword I was not only talking about alphanumeric words. In fact, it would be quite common to filter <script> rather than every occurence of script, because the amount of false positives would skyrocket otherwise.

This is a problem only your hosting company can tell you how to solve.

Ok, thanks for your replies. I am going to try that route now.
