    Hi AbuAhmad,

    I missed something sorry. Could you please try below one:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/xyz/web/apx/" && not ([HTTP::uri] equals "/xyz/web/apx/") } {
     drop
 }
}

Thank you Oguzy for the quick response,

I tried this before but it drops the connection that I need to keep:

 

https://host.name.com/xyz/web/apx/ << need this to still function including the "/" at the end but anything after that "/" should be dropped.

 

Thats why I tried the "/*" as wildcard at the end as I don't have list of all the directories that comes after that but need to block all of them.

Any ideas will be highly appreciated.
