URL Paths 2

From the comments of my original post about URL Paths:

<qoute src="Jon Cavallo">
You can put *.com in the URL Paths. You need to enter it as '/*.com'

I use the /*.x convention on all my extension blocking. This helps prevent them from wildcarding some other part of a complex url.

You are totally right, this is a better way to implement extension blocking with URL Paths. Thanks

Open the Fireware Policy Manager --> Setup -> Actions --> Proxies... --> select the proxy you are using. --> Edit --> HTTP Request --> URL Path's --> Set 'If matched' to Deny --> Enter a extension you want to block in the 'Pattern:' box and click add.
If you want to block *.pif files enter

*/*.pif

Is a client then request http://evil-website.org/evil.pif it will be denied.

The fist * will match evil-website.org
the / will match /
The second * will match evil
and .pif will match .pif

If you are becomming more familiar with the software you can also take a look at

The Body Content Type's option does not check the url but the file itself. This means that If I rename my evil.exe to evil.gif it will still be denied as a executable.

If I go for any further IT exam, I will definitely seek help from Dumpspass4sure just like I got Pass4sure WatchGuard dumps from here. Not only this, but a lot of other additional services like free demo questions, exam updates and practice test helped me during my preparation. I say thanks for providing this bundle of services with Pass4sure WatchGuard study material.
