Re: [FW-1] Nimda rule (URI resource matching) makes file-uploading fail



its peculiar but if you use the "not your_network" or "your_network" .. the action "drop" will fail to produce desired results(dropping nimda attacks). change "drop" to "reject".  If you use "ANY" ... "drop" will work.

not sure why this is.. but its how I got it to work.

Also other notes.. if there are spaces or "@" in the URL .. they will probably be dropped by the security server because it can't handle them..
and if you have tunneling checked.. be ready for folks to use your firewall as a launch pad for spam and other nonsence...

Try having two rules as follows:

not your_network --- your_network --- http->Nimda_URI --- drop
your_network --- not your network --- http->Nimda_URI --- drop

Where your_network is a group that encompasses any internal
networks and DMZ networks.

To get the 'not your_network', enter your_network and then choose
the negate option.

That way, your internal to DMZ and vice versa won't be affected
by the Nimda rule as it is effectively your_network to your_network.

Hope this helps.
