Using PROFILE::httpclass to get HTTP class configuration info

Thanks for the information.

 

 

In general, I'd like to be able to use a rule to replace the filtering of the HTTP class and still send the request to ASM. Currently you can filter requests using an HTTP class by HTTP host header, URI, other HTTP headers, and cookies. I'd like to be able to add more logic to which requests get sent to which HTTP class (and the corresponding ASM policy), using a rule.

 

 

For this specific situation, I'm trying to workaround an issue whereby only the first 13 HTTP classes are used (C275423-1). The issue has been escalated, but I was hoping to get around the limitation using a rule to select which HTTP class to send the requests to.

 

 

So would it be possible to add the ability to set the HTTP class in a future release? I think it would be consistent with the functionality rules provide.

 

 

Thanks,
