Add a system check that detects WAFs

Open Findus23 opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Multiple people have reported issues with tag manager caused by web application firewalls. Many are blocking form submission when the POST data contains HTML.

I'd propose adding a system check that trie sending POST data with HTML in it and checks for a 403.

See also https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/issues/3371 for a more general mod_security detection (which might be harder to do reliably than this specific rule).

Closing this as we are not fixing this in core
