Blocking upload is not working

Wadood

Hi all,

I am having an issue in testing the "no web upload" pre-configured policy in web protection in XG, t is just not working , I am aware that it is not workign with gmail and hotmail

but I have test it with other sites (http and https) and still the users can upload any file here are the rules nothing fancy just simple rule for that, please not that I don't have any other rule in the fw

Am I missing something?

    HI,

    I tried using the web filtering, but something has gone wrong in the XG dropdown list, the httpupload is not in the list anymore. I have restarted the XG, but the category does not appear.

    I think I might have found part of the reason why the block does not work, in Application control there are a number of http* applications with allow as the default and httpupload is one of them. I add the application to my list and changed the allow to deny and blocked my upload test. I tried with dropbox but fail to get past the association, (I had to create a new account) because I have block system files enabled.

    I hope that gives you additional areas to look at.

    Further testing shows the drag and drop feature of dropbox uses https not http. But the block http upload does work.
