 * Hello,
    I’ve set up BPS and unable to access some files on the site through the
   application ( it uses HTTP requests ), – getting 403 Forbidden. Hovewer, i’m 
   able to access this files directly through the browser. If i disable BPS ( by
   deleting .htaccess ) – all works fine again Can you help me solve this problem?
   And thank you for a very good plugin!

 * Please be more specific and post specific details of the problem. If this is 
   a problem with a plugin, then add the plugin name or script name or file name
   and if you have a URL or Query string that is being forbidden please post it 
   here.

 * yeah, sorry
    here is an url: [http://apathysoftworks.com/QC/qc_update/last_ver.txt](http://apathysoftworks.com/QC/qc_update/last_ver.txt)
   i can open it in the browser, but my app – Quick Cliq, cannot access this file
   using COM object “WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1” with GET request [http://apathysoftworks.com/software/quickcliq](http://apathysoftworks.com/software/quickcliq)
 * I believe it somehow related win BPS protection against auto site-downloaders.
   I need to know what i should change in .htaccess ( which was secure.htaccess 
   formerly ) to fix this problem
 * Again, if i restore previous htaccess from backup – it works fine

 * Excellent details! Thank you.
 * winhttp is explicitly blocked by BPS in the root .htaccess file and also in the
   wp-admin .htaccess file. To remove that restriction you would remove winhttp 
   from these security filters below. This should allow Quick Cliq to communicate
   successfully with your website.
 * Root .htaccess file
 *     ```
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (libwww-perl|wget|python|nikto|curl|scan|java|winhttp|clshttp|loader) [NC,OR]
   
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (;|<|>|'|"|\)|\(|%0A|%0D|%22|%27|%28|%3C|%3E|%00).*(libwww-perl|wget|python|nikto|curl|scan|java|winhttp|HTTrack|clshttp|archiver|loader|email|harvest|extract|grab|miner) [NC,OR]
       ```
   
 * wp-admin .htaccess file
 *     ```
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (libwww-perl|wget|python|nikto|curl|scan|java|winhttp|HTTrack|clshttp|archiver|loader|email|harvest|extract|grab|miner) [NC,OR]
