limit frequent http GET

Typically HTTP 1.x clients try to reuse the TCP connection so it’s quite common to see multiple GET requests on the same connection; some within a very short amount of time.

Here is an example that demonstrates how to set the upper limit on the number of requests on a keep-alive connection.

when HTTP_RESPONSE { 
    if {[HTTP::request_num] > 2} { 
       HTTP::close 
    }  
 } 
 

Limiting the request rate on the other hand is a little bit trickier for a lot of reasons. Could you tell us a little bit more what you are looking for?
