Description
Kevin detailed this in an email. I'll repost the content below. This is specifically intended to solve issues where users are being denied when trying to download lessons from the app. I'm not sure whether Kevin thinks this should be used for any other connections.
Kevin's text:
"Sure, if you can add a query string in the post/get requests coming from the app that has a known/expected value, then we can add a firewall rule to allow this through to xmlrpc and lessons while not having to otherwise lower the security checks for these areas. Something like xmlrpc.php?existingquery&mrapp-version=1.2.3 or whatever you feel like as long as I can code a regex that can match it."
