HTTP Scanning issue

This is just a thought since I have not configured to much of it but I would think that you would have to make an exclusion or exception for things like pandora and then secure them in web applications.

This is just a thought since I have not configured to much of it but I would think that you would have to make an exclusion or exception for things like pandora and then secure them in web applications.

not a huge fan of that idea due to the small chance that lets say pandora gets breached and their site starts to host malware. The other reason is that potentially 100s of sites would need to be excluded from scanning and that just seems messy and defeats the purpose of HTTP scanning.

It is also possible that a redirect on Pandoras end is getting blocked by some other web filter aspect or firewall rule, have you attempted to look in the log viewer and isolate the test computer and compare the logs against all other aspects?

i have not, however i have confirmed that unchecking HTTP scanning resolves the issue. I will take a look at the logs.

Hi,

there is the ability to disable scanning on streaming media. There will not be an issue with this because streaming media is not run as an application and has no start or end.

I'm guessing this is not for all sites but a few? if so it's not usual for this to crop up - I handle them with a specific firewall rule for the destination domain with no HTTP scanning, this is the XG way of putting in a UTM SG type proxy exception (I'm assuming access to these sites is not a problem).

I think it's just the filtering process is quite strict on the HTTP headers it will process, but that's just a guess on my part.
