[9.200][BUG] HTTPS - Exceptions issue

Looks like something broke....

Exceptions not read when https URL Scan only is turned on for https urls.

IF you have a web protection>webfiltereing options> exception to skip all checks including SSL, URL, etc. and you have HTTPS "Scan URL only" selected in the web protection>>filter profiles, any https scan will not be seen by the exception and return a block.

Example listed below:

Apple Update [Allows Apple Update without content scanning side effects.]
Skipping: Authentication / Caching / Antivirus / Extension blocking / MIME type blocking / URL Filter / Content Removal / Certificate Trust Check / Certificate Date Check / SSL scanning
Matching these URLs: ^https?://([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?apple\.com\.?/

  • Unfortunately I don't think there is a workaround for this bug except that would allow for that type of thing.

    The only thing I would do is say this this only affects Transparent Mode when HTTPS is set to URL Filtering Only.  There is no need to change anything if you are not using this.  After 9.202 is released the exceptions should be modified to include the trailing slash again.

    And if you can live with the fact that the exceptions are not applied (eg your customers are not complaining) then don't change anything, just wait for the fix.
