That actually sounds like something your web host must be doing. They
probably have some complex mod_security rules setup for Apache to prevent
sites their users host from being compromised. Habari should allow you to
stick just about anything in the post body.

Take a look at your hosting control panel and see if there's any
user-available option about additional security, mod_security, something
along those lines. If you can't find anything, you'll need to have a chat
with your hosting company.
