1. There must be some reason why "REMOTE_ADDR" has that value in your configuration. Your description is lacking. What is your configuration? 2. The filter does not do string comparison, but does regexp matching. Nothing prevents you from adding that additional value to the regular expression. > > > > -bash-4.1$ curl -v http://localhost/ws/local/info > * About to connect() to localhost port 80 (#0) > * Trying 127.0.0.1... connected > * Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 80 (#0) >> GET /ws/local/vip/info HTTP/1.1 >> User-Agent: curl/7.21.7 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.21.7 >> OpenSSL/0.9.8o zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.2.2 >> Host: localhost >> Accept: */* >> > < HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden > > Appreciate any help. > > Thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
