Description
Discussion Text
The rewrite engine is used to evaluate URL requests and modify the requests on the fly. Enabling this engine gives the system administrator the capability to trap potential attacks before reaching the hosted applications or to modify the URL to fix issues in the request before forwarding to the applications. The rewrite engine becomes a pre-filtering tool to fix data issues before reaching the hosted applications where the URL format or data within the URL could cause buffer overflows, redirection or mobile code snippets that could become an issue if not filtered.
