stanza
type
=
type_name
List
of
entries
that
specify
MIME
types
to
be
filtered
by
WebSEAL
when
received
from
junctioned
servers.
Administrators
can
add
additional
MIME
types
that
refer
to
a
document
that
contains
HTML
or
HTML-like
content.
This
list
of
stanza
entries
is
required.
Do
not
remove
the
default
entries.
Default
list
entries:
type
=
text/html
type
=
text/vnd.wap.wml

[filter-request-headers]
stanza
header
=
header_name
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.
Default
list:
host
connection
proxy-connection
expect
te
iv-ssl-jct
iv-user
iv_user
iv-groups
iv_groups
iv-creds
iv_creds
iv_remote_address
iv-remote-address
The
addition
of
new
entries
in
this
stanza
is
optional.
For
example,
an
administrator
could
add
the
header
accept-encoding.
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.
