Aaron,
Just to understand you clearly, Does this mean
1) We generally do not create a wildcard parameter "*" for allowed URLs and try to learn the URLs accessed on the learning screen. (since crawlers would do just the same)
Based on your suggested approach , is it ok then not to learn from the metacharacters on parameters (policy-->blocking-->settings) , as it may not be very useful:
2) Illegal meta characters in parameter name
3) Illegal meta characters in parameter value
Specific Yes/No answers to 1),2) & 3) will save me a lot of time & effort.
Yes, the policy is in transparent mode on production. Regards,
regards,
Nik
