Thanks Pete for the reply and your time, really appreciate it.

 

I have tried your solution but it doesn't seem to work,

 

I implemented the following which went fine.

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

if { (([HTTP::host] eq "hostname.mylab.com") and ([HTTP::uri] contains "/dir1"))

or (([HTTP::host] eq "hostname.mylab.com") and ([HTTP::uri] contains "/dir2"))

or (([HTTP::host] eq "hostname.mylab.com") and ([HTTP::uri] contains "/dir3"))

or (([HTTP::host] eq "hostname.mylab.com") and ([HTTP::uri] contains "/dir4")) } {

 

} else {

drop

}

}

 

Kind Regards,
