Using MT 4.2: Hemingway Stylesheet. Classic Blog Templates
Linux Shared Hosting.
I'm getting the following 400 error when I try to save templates - many of the template modules seem to be ok, but it seems as though, if the content of the template includes header information something goes awry... can't place whether it's my MT installation, or my hosting causing the issue... anyone able to shed any light??

What header information are you putting in the templates?
Whatever comes as standard? I haven't made any changes...
OK
400 Bad header is HTTP request headers from the server [see sample below]. It can be caused by trying https traffic coming in on the wrong port for example, are you behind a proxy?

You mean when I'm accessing my installation from home? No. I do have a proxy at work and have tried on both the home and work network, both via ethernet and wireless. No change. Should I refer it to my host??
Took it to the webhost who added an exemption to modsecurity and now all is well.
Thanks for the input.
