 * Hello,
 * I’d like to use my WP to post codes (PHP, html…etc). When I do paste some amount
   of code (67 lines of PHP and html mixture), after pressing the “publish” button
   I get an “Not found” error, saying : “_The requested URL /wp-admin/post.php was
   not found on this server._“
 * I don’t have this problem when I post articles without codes. I tried to use 
   Quickcode, tried to add the code in between [code] or
    [pre] tags, tried to add
   the actual code in both visual and code views but nothing changed it.
 * It was a bit annyoing after finishing one kinda long article to get this error
   message. Any helps wouldd be appriciated.
 * Cheers 🙂

 * Check out the wp-syntax plugin, should do what you need

 * thanks for the suggestion.
 * it still won’t let me post that specific code. However if I delete like 25% out
   from the code it let’s me go through. Any suggestions?

 * Was doing a search on the same error (404 on post.php) when I found this thread
   =]
 * My coworker just had mentioned that sometimes mod_security on the serverside 
   may recognize a request as spam and not serve the page at all as a precaution.
 * I was trying to post an article that referenced blogspot.com and it was rejected.
   After running the URL through tinyURL, it works. Go figure =/
 * If it is mod_security, you’ll just have to narrow it down to what link(s) it 
   may be. Hope it helps.

 * hmmm. I didn’t have any issues with URL-s. The problem was-actually the problem
   still is- that if I’d like to post an article with -let’s say – 50 lines of code
   it gets rejected.
 * however if I post the same thing in batches, I get no errors. 🙁

 * okay, I now have the solution…sort of.
 * I found out what caused this error 🙂 its really funny. I did this investigation
   paragraph-by-paragraph, then sentence-by-sentence and finally word-by-word. It
   turns out that the reason why the posting fails is because of one simple word.“
   Fetch”. Try to enter this word only to a post, and see the 404 error afterwards….
 * probably there are some workarounds for this 🙂 So fetch it for yourself 😀

 * There are quite a few similar words (mainly those that could be commands in a
   script) that would cause similar issues; e.g. curl, mkdir etc.
    There was a fix
