header

Syntax

header = header_name

Description

List of HTTP headers that WebSEAL filters before sending the request to a junctioned server. A default list is built-in to WebSEAL. The default entries are not included in the configuration file.

The addition of new entries in this stanza is optional. For example, an administrator could add the accept-encoding header. This would instruct WebSEAL to remove any accept-encoding headers from requests before forwarding the request to the junction. The removal of the accept-encoding header would cause the junction server to return the document in an unencoded form, allowing WebSEAL to filter the document if necessary.

New entries must consist of valid HTTP headers.

This configuration item may be customized for a particular junction by adding the adjusted configuration item to a [junction:{jct_id}] stanza, where '{jct-id}' refers to the junction point for a standard junction (include the leading '/'), or the virtual host label for a virtual host junction.

Options

header_name

HTTP header name.

Usage

The addition of new entries in this stanza is optional.
