The issue was resolved by adding a location match for "/xmlrpc.php" to disable rule 90001 in the modsec conf file:

<LocationMatch "/xmlrpc.php">
SecRuleRemoveById 90001
</LocationMatch>

Just wanted to include the fix in case anyone else has the problem in the future.

I've recently moved a client's site to a new host and started receiving a 404 error when trying to connect from the iOS app. The site is http://flaksburyst.com and I've been trying to figure out this problem for the past few days. I've been working with the host to track down the issue but unfortunately progress has stalled in finding the problem. The weird thing is that both http://flaksburyst.com/xmlrpc.php and http://flaksburyst.com/xmlrpc.php?rsd return the expected responses but when we try to POST to xmlrpc.php we get a 404 error.

A few things we've tried already:

  • Disabled mod_security
  • Tried to connect with or without the www
  • Disabled and re-enabled XML-RPC in WP settings
  • Disabled all plugins

Here's a snippet of the access logs so you can see when the 404 occurs:
166.137.136.43 - - [08/Feb/2012:14:23:02 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 41793 "-" "wp-iphone/2.9.3"
166.137.136.43 - - [08/Feb/2012:14:23:05 -0500] "POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.1" 404 18469 "-" "wp-iphone/2.9.3"
166.137.136.43 - - [08/Feb/2012:14:23:06 -0500] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 406 41793 "-" "wp-iphone/2.9.3"
166.137.136.43 - - [08/Feb/2012:14:23:07 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 41793 "-" "wp-iphone/2.9.3"
166.137.136.43 - - [08/Feb/2012:14:23:09 -0500] "POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.1" 404 18469 "-" "wp-iphone/2.9.3"
166.137.136.43 - - [08/Feb/2012:14:23:11 -0500] "GET /xmlrpc.php?rsd HTTP/1.1" 200 828 "-" "WordPress/2.9.3 CFNetwork/548.0.4 Darwin/11.0.0"
166.137.136.43 - - [08/Feb/2012:14:23:12 -0500] "POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.1" 404 18469 "-" "wp-iphone/2.9.3"

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Forum admins, please take a look at this!

The iPhone Mail application also prompts to say there's a potential bad cert, but allows the user to choose "Continue" and then doesn't ask again - it just silently accepts the certificate and continues.

The WordPress app should be more lenient when dealing with certificate errors - certainly warn the user, but do give them the option to continue.

Right now, the WordPress app will not connect to my blog and so cannot be used, which is a shame :(

Highly annoying. This is a test-post to see whether this was a one-off error, or whether I'm wasting my time.

If this does go through and posted can be edited, I'll re-write my original bug report into this message.

Were you able to get the issue resolved? I am using 3ix as well and getting the 404 errors on my client (blogo, iphone app) and verified it even using the raw access logs. Is it something to do with 3Ix or was there some other issue?

hoping to hear your solution :)

Assuming nothing has changed, and if you want further help, I'll need temporary access to your blog so that I can try to add your blog in my Dev environment and watch variables...

Perhaps mod_security (or something like it) is blocking these requests?
