Opened: Jul 16, 2018

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Unexpected URL suggestion populated for explicit URL even though URL's Filetype is defined in list: 'File types for which wildcard HTTP URLs will be configured (e.g. *.jpg)'.

Impact

Unexpected URL suggestion populated for explicit URL when it should not.

Conditions

Adding a Filetype to the 'File types for which wildcard HTTP URLs will be configured (e.g. *.jpg)' list after first traffic for specific URL with that Filetype arrived (problem persists even if suggestions is deleted).

Workaround

- Ignore the suggestion (use the ignore button). - Restart policy builder (run the command pabnagd).

Fix Information

When adding a new Filetype to the 'File types for which wildcard HTTP URLs will be configured (e.g. *.jpg)' list, once the first traffic for an explicit URL with a suggestion arrives, the explicit URL suggestion will be deleted and a wildcard URL suggestion for matching Filetype will be created.
