You can have the router permit or deny traffic based on HTTP header length and
the request method contained in the header. Request methods are the commands
sent to HTTP servers to fetch URLs, web pages, and perform other actions. To

Check this box if you want the router to permit or deny traffic based on HTTP
header length, and specify the maximum Request and maximum Response header
length. Use the Permit, Block, and Alarm controls to specify the action the router
is to take when header length exceeds these values.
If you want the router to permit or deny HTTP traffic based on an extension
request method, check the box next to that request method. Use the Permit,
Block, and Alarm controls to specify the action the router is to take when it
encounters traffic using that request method.
If you want the router to permit or deny HTTP traffic based on one of the HTTP
request methods specified in RFC 2616, Hypertext Transfer Protocol—HTTP/1.1,
check the box next to that request method. Use the Permit, Block, and Alarm
controls to specify the action the router is to take when it encounters traffic using
that request method.
You can have the router examine the content of HTTP traffic and permit or block
traffic, and generate alarms based on what things that you make the router check.
