Description of my issue:

Hi

Getting a lot of Security Exceptions: Bad behaviour (Required header 'Accept' missing)

I have turned OFF the Bad behaviour option, which seems a shame.

Is there a better solution?

Bad Behaviour is a third party library. You can either turn it on as a whole or not at all. As for the explanation of each condition, they are explained in Bad Behavior's website. Regarding the error message you get, I also found this page from a fellow developer who integrates Bad Behavior with WordPress. His article reads:

If the denied_reason says, “Required header ‘Accept’ missing,” check to ensure that you are not using a proxy server, personal firewall, or any other software that may be interfering with your Web browsing. This type of software, if not configured properly, will cause this problem. Bypass the proxy (when possible) and try again. If you see this message, and you are using GoDaddy shared hosting, be aware that this is caused by GoDaddy and there is nothing I can do about it. Switch web hosts.

Maybe that explains it?
