Description of my issue:
Your component is awesome! I'm just having one issue thus far. I am ONLY using the web firewall at this time. My clients have their own I.T. team, and they didn't want me adding any entries to .htaccess, so for now I'm just using the other parts of your tool. Anyways, after setting up the firewall I am having an issue with Joomfish Pro, which allows translators to do translations by logging into the front end. They can login fine and make edits, but as soon as they click "Save" they get "Object Not Found" = The requested URL was not found on this server" Any ideas? See attached for all current firewall settings.

Oh, and by the way, the plugin for your component is published as -30000, (Minus 30,000) so it's the first one published?

Actually, as soon as a posted I thought to check the security log, and the reason was the XSS block. Once I disabled that one the firewall Joomfish Plus now works! I would still like to use that XSS feature, but it's imperative that we can use the front-end joomfish plus method for our translators. Any ideas?

Thanks!

The XSSShield is very, I mean very, picky. It will block too many legitimate requests because they look like an XSS attack. In order to work around that, you have to disable the XSSShield for now. In the very near future I will be re-implementing a feature removed from Admin Tools 2.1.10, the WAF Exceptions. It will allow you to selectively disable filtering for specific query parameters on specific component. But, for now, the only workaround is disabling the XSSShield feature.
