Syntax error in HTTP authentication: http://www.[abcd].com

Hi,

 

When and why we got this blocked message on WAF? Usually [abcd] is anyknown website for example: google

 

Please suggest.

  • Hi,

    the problem is URI is http://www.google.fr and not /

    you are trying to configure ASM on a VS defined as a proxy and not a reverse proxy.

    a HTTP request may be :

    GET / HTTP/1.1
    Host : www.google.fr
    

    a HTTP proxy request is:

    GET http://www.google.fr/ HTTP/1.1
    Host : www.google.fr
    

    ASM is not a proxy (to protect internet web sites) but a WAF (to protect internal web site).

    the proxy module is SWG.
