Hi Mike,

You could give this a sho: (notice the moved "):
HeadDeny "User-Agent: .*MJ12bot.*"

This should deny any request that has 'MJ12bot' anywhere in the User-Agent
header, but I am not sure if it is case sensitive.
I based this on the RFC (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-5.5.3)

Could anyone confirm (or deny) if the HeadDeny option accepts full regex?
If so, what version? (i.e. Perl) If it is indeed full regex I could make a
case insensitive version for you.

Regards,

Jan
