edit ?

<entry_index>

Enter the index number of the individual entry in the table. The valid range is 1–9,999,999,999,999,999,999.

host-status {enable | disable}

Specify enable to require that the Host: field of the HTTP request match a protected host names entry in order to match the exception. Also specify a value for host.

host "<host_str>"

Specify which protected host names entry (either a web host name or IP address) that the Host: field of the HTTP request must be in to match the exception.

Maximum length is 256 characters.

This option is available only if the value of host-status {enable | disable} is enabled.

url-type {plain | regular}

Specify the type of value that is used for url-patten "<url-pattern_str>":

• plain—A literal URL.
• regular — A regular expression designed to match multiple URLs.

url-patten "<url-pattern_str>"

If the value of url-type {plain | regular} is plain, specify the literal URL, such as /index.php, that the HTTP request must contain in order to match the rule. The URL must begin with a slash ( / ).

If the value of url-type is regular, specify a regular expression, such as ^/*.php, that matches all and only the URLs that the rule applies to. The pattern does not require a slash ( / ); however, it must match URLs that begin with a slash, such as /index.cfm.

Do not include the domain name, such as www.example.com, which is specified by host.

Maximum length is 256 characters.

Tip: Generally, URLs that require autolearning adapters do not work well with caching either. Do not cache dynamic URLs that contain variables such as user names (e.g. older versions of Microsoft OWA) or volatile data such as parameters. Because FortiWeb is unlikely to receive identical subsequent requests for them, dynamic URLs can rapidly consume cache without improving performance.
