Word profile that matches your pages, and this profile comes before the default profile in the

one of the following:
If the changes affect numerous pages, click Access Gateways, select the name of the
server, then click Actions > Purge All Cache.
If the changes affect only a few pages, you can update them from a browser. Access the
page, then press Ctrl+Shift, then click Refresh to force a refresh of the page.

1.6.5 Disabling the Rewriter

There are three methods you can use to disable the internal rewriter:
"Disabling per Proxy Service" on page 57
"Disabling per URL" on page 57
"Disabling with Page Modifications" on page 58
Disabling per Proxy Service
By default, the rewriter is enabled for all proxy services. The rewriter can slow performance because
of the parsing overhead. In some cases, a Web site might not have content with URL references that
need to be rewritten. The rewriter can be disabled on the proxy service that protects that Web site.
1 In the Administration Console, click Devices > Access Gateways > Edit > [Name of Reverse
Proxy] > [Name of Proxy Service] > HTML Rewriting.
2 Deselect the Enable HTML Rewriting option, then click OK.
3 To apply your changes, click the Access Gateways link, then click Update > OK.
4 Select the Access Gateway, then click Actions > Purge All Cache > OK.
Disabling per URL
You can also specify a list of URLs that are to be excluded from being rewritten for the selected
proxy service.
1 In the Administration Console, click Devices > Access Gateways > Edit > [Name of Reverse
Proxy] > [Name of Proxy Service] > HTML Rewriting.
2 Click the name of the Word profile defined for this proxy service.
If you have not defined a custom Word profile for the proxy service, you might want to create
one. If you modify the default profile, those changes are applied to all proxy services.
3 In the And Requested URL Is Not section, click New, then specify the names of the URLs you
do not want rewritten.
Specify each URL on a separate line.
4 Click OK twice.
