HTTP Inspection
Configure an HTTP Inspection Policy Map
To specify actions when a message violates a parameter, create an HTTP inspection policy map. You can
then apply the inspection policy map when you enable HTTP inspection.
Before You Begin
Some traffic matching options use regular expressions for matching purposes. If you intend to use one
of those techniques, first create the regular expression or regular expression class map.
Procedure
(Optional) Create an HTTP inspection class map by performing the following steps.
Step 1
A class map groups multiple traffic matches.You can alternatively identify match commands directly in
the policy map. The difference between creating a class map and defining the traffic match directly in
the inspection policy map is that the class map lets you create more complex match criteria, and you can
reuse class maps.
To specify traffic that should not match the class map, use the match not command. For example, if the
match not command specifies the string "example.com," then any traffic that includes "example.com"
does not match the class map.
For the traffic that you identify in this class map, you specify actions to take on the traffic in the
inspection policy map.
If you want to perform different actions for each match command, you should identify the traffic directly
in the policy map.

7-16
Create the class map by entering the following command:
hostname(config)# class-map type inspect http [match-all | match-any] class_map_name
hostname(config-cmap)#
Where the class_map_name is the name of the class map. The match-all keyword is the default, and
specifies that traffic must match all criteria to match the class map. The match-any keyword
specifies that the traffic matches the class map if it matches at least one match statement. The CLI
enters class-map configuration mode, where you can enter one or more match commands.
(Optional) To add a description to the class map, enter the following command:
hostname(config-cmap)# description string
Where string is the description of the class map (up to 200 characters).
Specify the traffic on which you want to perform actions using one of the following match
commands. If you use a match not command, then any traffic that does not match the criterion in
the match not command has the action applied.

HTTP response that does not match the accept field in the corresponding HTTP request
message.

HTTP request message arguments against the specified regular expression or regular expression
class.
• match [not] request body {regex {regex_name | class class_name} | length gt
bytes}—Matches text found in the HTTP request message body against the specified regular
expression or regular expression class, or messages where the request body is greater than the
specified length.
