HTTP Method Filter List

The

HTTP Method Filter List

section looks like this:

Using this section, you can configure rules for assigning actions to particular
HTTP methods that occur in user requests and add these rules to a list. The
rules may also include a categorization of the method and specify the URL it
is applied to.

So, you could set up a rule that, e. g. categorizes the GET method when
applied to a particular URL as

Entertainment

and blocks the corresponding

request.

To add a rule to the list, use the area labeled:

Add rule

Use the following items to configure the rule:

Method

From this drop-down list, select the HTTP method you want to configure
a rule for, e. g. GET.

URL

In this input field, enter the URL that is requested when the HTTP
method is used. Input in this field is optional.
