Things to remember while adding CFS URI objects

Description

In this article we explained the things to remember while adding URI domain objects for the CFS policy.

Resolution

This article explains about the things to remember while adding URI list objects to allow/block domains in the content filter policy. Each URI needs to follow these rules:

 
1. Each URI should only contain the host and path.
 
2. The length of each URI should not be greater than 255.
 
3. Each URI can contain up to 16 tokens; they are separated by "." or "/". URI should not start or end with separators.
 
4. Token in URI can only contain characters: 0-9  a-z  A-z $-_+!'(),.
 
5. Wildcard "*" can be used as a special token, which represents a sequence of one or more valid tokens.
EXAMPLE: 
"www.*.com/news.*.txt" is a Valid URI.
"ww*.com" is invalid, because "*" is not the only character in the token.
"www.*.*.com" is invalid, because continuous "*" is not supported.
 
6. IPv4/IPv6 address can be defined as the host part of URI.
EXAMPLE: "[2001:2002:*:2003::2005:2006]/news".
