Actually this is caused by Drupal's .htaccess file:

RewriteRule "(^|/)\." - [F]

You can remove that rule from .htaccess if you like. I would just make sure you don't have any hidden directories, like .git.

Dear All
I have an auto complete text field , where user types and if corresponding entry is present in database, I show it to user using below code.

$matches = array();
if ($string)
{
      $result = db_select('resubmt_skill_ids')
        ->fields('skill_ids', array('name', 'id'))
        ->condition('name', db_like($string) . '%', 'LIKE')
        ->range(0, 10)
        ->execute();
      foreach ($result as $skill)
      {
          $matches[$skill->name] = check_plain($skill->name);
      }
}
drupal_json_output($matches);

Lets say one user wanted to type .net, as soon as user types .n I get below error.

An AJAX HTTP error occurred.
HTTP Result Code: 403
Debugging information follows.
Path: http://localhost/example.com/util/known/skillsets
StatusText: Forbidden
ResponseText:
403 Forbidden
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /util/known/skillsets/.n
on this server.
Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

Can somebody help me why this error comes and how can I avoid it.

Thanks
Austin
