Common
HTTP Method Filter List
The
HTTP Method Filter List
section looks like this:
Using this section, you can configure rules for assigning actions to particular
HTTP methods that occur in user requests and add these rules to a list. The
rules may also include a categorization of the method and specify the URL it
is applied to.
So, you could set up a rule that, e. g. categorizes the GET method when
applied to a particular URL as
Entertainment
and blocks the corresponding
request.
To add a rule to the list, use the area labeled:
•
Add rule
Use the following items to configure the rule:
—
Method
From this drop-down list, select the HTTP method you want to configure
a rule for, e. g. GET.
—
URL
In this input field, enter the URL that is requested when the HTTP
method is used. Input in this field is optional.
