NimbostratusForward Proxy with Websense Support
Has anyone successfully deployed this websens iAPP solution? We are on LTM-6900F and we do not have APM.

It appears to work just fine for regular "Get" requests using http/80 but when using SSL/443 with the "connect" method sites that should be blocked such as facebook.com:443 are allowed. A HTTP 1.1 200 ok is received as soon as we browse to the site, and no redirect is sent from Websense to the block page. Browsing to facebook.com:80 does get blocked fine.
There isn't a whole lot of information on this. And I do see where APM is capable of doing this all internal. Any assistance would be appreciated.

- Gavin - This is due to the request being encrypted. The packet must be decrypted for logic to be leveraged against the client request.
