If I start up the Solr example from branch_4x and send the following query: text:\' Solr will not complain at all. I would bet that you have a proxy or a load balancer in front of Solr that is treating your input as a possible attack and denying it. You would need to look into the configuration of the proxy or load balancer to fix this. It is entirely possible that you have a proxy on your network that you are not aware of. Sometimes large companies will send *all* user-generated network traffic through a proxy to check for viruses, trojans, and illegal/objectionable network usage. Thanks, Shawn
