Hello, long time Apache Lounge user, first time poster. I come to you today with what I believe is an error in the latest mod_security-2.9.12-win64-VS18 release.
It seems that JSON support was not including and thus can not be parsed by mod_security. I discovered this when a file sharing project I use stopped working.
Downgrading to the previous module version, 2.9.11-win64-VS17, fixes the issue and JSON parsing works as expected.
Here is the associated apache error (repeated multiple times):

Yes indeed.
Take a look at the size difference of that dll file between the 2 releases. |
