Web Filter Logging

All-

I am receiving log entries in the web filter log each time I access ABC news. Can someone advise me how to correct the issue at the UTM or prevent logging generated by the rule. If a complete show is watched the logging becomes excessive. See enclosed log:

Thanks,
Jim

It is a warning message that can be ignored. I'll talk to someone internally about whether the warning can be hidden.

The issue is that some urls include "percent encoding", for example "/sales proposal.doc" becomes "/sales%20proposal.doc". The UTM does some decoding and URL normalization as part of it process.

It is having trouble with width=100%&height.

If you want to just silence your logs, try creating an exception to skip all checks going to url:
