Hi Leslie,

You can use the HTTP Security filter and include keywords into the Request URL. Then for that rule, any request that includes that key word in the request URL will be blocked.

Hi Leslie,

When you right click an Access Rule that allows HTTP access, you'll have the option to "configure HTTP" or something like that (the name has changed over various builds). There you can configure key word blocking and various other controls over HTTP communications.

HTH,
Tom

Hi Leslie,

Thanks! I hope to get a tutorial on how to get the most out of the HTTP Security filter up on this site in the next week or two.

Thanks!
Tom

Hi Steve,

No white list, but you can create a second rule that allows that site.

HTH,

So would that allow any site with scunthorpe in or just http://www.scunthorpe.co.uk but not www.thisisscunthorpeworld.co.uk

(above is an example and not real URLS)

If this is the case, how would I do this ?

Hi Steve,

You would create a rule that allows access to the sites that would be otherwise blocked by the deny rule, and then put that rule above the rule that blocks the sites with the blocked string.
