config waf exclude-url
edit "Compression Exclusion"
config exclude-rules
edit 1
set host "192.168.1.2"
set host-status enable
set request-file "/archives"
next
end
next
edit "Decompression Exclusion"
config exclude-rules
edit 1
set host "www.example.com"
set host-status enable
set request-file "/products.cfm"
next
end
next
end
