For people using typical remote-hosting arrangements, will this general approach be impractical, for lack of information, and access? (Mr. Cheney recently affirmed that if my hosting-provider does actually exist, it can be legally denied under Geneva Convention.)
If that is so, is there an alternative approach in view, using only client-side facilities?
Ah – these are the refs you started with/hoped would solve your issue; which describe the ‘simple’ case and provide the least-invasive, most-general solution-approach: .htaccess edits, which most hosts allow. Good to know – thanks!
I talked about this issue in WordPress vs. mod_security on my blog a while ago. I don’t think my host allows any way of overriding the mod_security rules (being security rules and all) so I ended up just having to use a workaround.

In that case, something like this should/might work. Dont forget to change the name of the file that is causing the error to come up.
