mod_security 406 Error - El Forum - 12-19-2009

Hi
My web host has reported that my CI site is generating a 406 error. They have not been particularly helpful as to what it is and I am not a mod_security expert. Apart from the code I added, the only addition to the CI standard 1.7.1 is BackEndPro. I have the same config running on other hosts without a problem.
The site is a very simple form->db->email site. Only a couple of pages.
The mod_security log is:
Access denied with code 406 (phase 2). Pattern match "(?:\b(?:on(?

[file "/usr/local/apache/conf/modsec2.user.conf"] [line "79"] [id "950004"] [msg "Cross-site Scripting (XSS) Attack. Matched signature <.cookie>"] [severity "CRITICAL"]Anyone have any ideas ?
