HTTP requests: URL paths

A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) identifies a resource on a remote server and gives the network location on
that server. The URL path is the string of information that comes after the top level domain name. You can use
the HTTP proxy to block web sites that contain specified text in the URL path. If the default proxy definition
does not meet all of your business needs, you can add, delete, or modify URL path patterns. Here are examples
of how to block content using HTTP request URL paths:
To block all pages that have the host name www.test.com, type the pattern:
To block all paths containing the word sex, on all web sites:
To block URL paths ending in *.test, on all web sites:
1. Select the Deny unsafe file name patterns check box if you want to use URL path rules to filter the
content of the host, path, and query-string components of a URL.
The name specifies files names but any pattern entered will be applied to the entire URL path.
2. To add a new path pattern, enter the path and click Add.
3. To remove a path pattern, select the pattern and click Remove.

HTTP responses: Cookies

HTTP cookies are small files of alphanumeric text put by web servers on web clients. Cookies monitor the page
a web client is on to enable the web server to send more pages in the correct sequence. Web servers also use
cookies to collect information about an end user. Many web sites use cookies for authentication and other
legitimate functions, and cannot operate correctly without cookies.
The proxy looks for packets based on the domain associated with the cookie. The domain can be specified in
the cookie. If the cookie does not contain a domain, the proxy uses the host name in the first request. For
example, to block all cookies for nosy-adware-site.com, use the pattern:
want to deny cookies from all subdomains on a web site, use the wildcard symbol (*) before and after the
domain. For example,
mail.google.com.
