Request Types

The Request Types section labels HTTP requests with tags consumed by Access Profiles and other filters. It does not block traffic.

​

Core mechanics

​

Processing order

1. Application Signatures (unless subscription expired).
2. Domains and Urls — substring match; every matching row applies.
3. Request Types rows — all gates must pass; every match applies.

​

Domains and Urls

Tab-prefixed host+path substring find — not regex. Empty domain list or empty add/remove → row skipped. Match: Host, Referer, or Both.

​

Smart TLD

When Host Name regex misses and Smart TLD is on, same regex retried against site name (host without public suffix).

​

Examples

Open Configure → Custom Settings → Request Types. Three sub-tabs: Global, Domains and Urls, and Request Types — the row list shown here, with Request Types (input gate), Minimum/Maximum Post Data Size, Smart TLD, and Added Request Types per row.

​

How to verify

1. Trace Entry on one row; native logs show Added/Removed tags.
2. Detailed logs request_profiles column.
