Library Browser JSON error

Currently ruunning Webwork 2.20 on Ubuntu 22.04

When using the Library Browser, all the problems do not display. Each entry only has the error:

JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

The site is being served from behind an F5 Web application Firewall.

So for reference to anyone in future:

The Proxying of the webwork content through a WAF (possibly through any proxy server/service), throws this error when DOS protection/CSS Protection and any possible custom rules are added.

You will need to turn these off, and craft the Rules for the URL.
