resource-name

Use the resource-name stanza entry to define HTTP transformation resources.

Syntax

resource-name = resource-file

Description

This configuration information is necessary to support WebSEAL HTTP transformations. You can use WebSEAL HTTP transformations to modify HTTP requests and HTTP responses (excluding the HTTP body) using XSLT or Lua scripting.

WebSEAL will use the extension of the resource file name to determine whether the resource file corresponds to a Lua script, or an XSLT file. Any resource file names which end with ‘.lua’ will be treated as a Lua script, and all other files will be treated as an XSLT file.

For more details, see HTTP transformations.

Options

resource-name: The name of the HTTP transformation resource.
resource-file: The name of the resource file.
Note: You must restart WebSEAL for changes to a rules file to take effect.

Usage

This stanza entry is optional.

Comments

If an HTTP transformation rule modifies the URI or host header of the request, WebSEAL reprocesses the transformed request. This reprocessing ensures that the transformation does not bypass WebSEAL authorization. This behavior also means that administrators can define HTTP transformations rules to send requests to different junctions.

Note: WebSEAL performs reprocessing (and authorization) on the first HTTP transformation only. WebSEAL does not reprocess the new requests that result from these subsequent transformations.

Default value

None.

Example

resourceOne = resourceOne.xsl
resourceTwo = resourceTwo.lua
