deciphering mod_security logs

Posted by joelie, 08-25-2010, 08:06 AM

Can anyone shed light on deciphering the mod_security logs? For example: Access denied with code 501 (phase 2). Match of "rx ^((??OS|GE)T|OPTIONS|HEAD))$" against "REQUEST_METHOD" required. [file "/usr/local/apache/conf/modsec2.user.conf"] [line "41"] [id "960032"] [msg "Method is not allowed by policy"] [severity "CRITICAL"] [tag "POLICY/METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED"]

It means your HTTP server blocked that request because it wasn't either a POST, GET, OPTIONS or HEAD request.
