This example configures two exclusion rules, one for compression and the other for decompression. Either rule can be referenced by name in a file compression or file decompression rule.

config waf exclude-url

edit "Compression Exclusion"

config exclude-rules

edit 1

set host "192.0.2.2"

set host-status enable

set request-file "/archives"

next

end

next

edit "Decompression Exclusion"

config exclude-rules

edit 1

set host "www.example.com"

set host-status enable

set request-file "/products.cfm"

next

end

next

end
