No. ipf works at TCP/IP level, it cant understand HTTP requests. If you want to audit HTTP traffic use an aplication level proxy, like squid. You can install it from the ports. Squid has several other advantages: better performance (due to caching), you can do filtering based on url type, method, IP, domain, user authentication (plain file, SMB, ldap, etc), file type and so on. You can combine both and configure ipf to allow only http requests originating from the proxy server, this way you can audit and control which sites your users are visiting. You can even configure ipf and squid t= o do transparent proxying. Go to http://www.squid-cache.org for more info. =09=09=09Fer > > /Teo > > > _________________________________________________________________ > MSN Photos =E4r det enklaste s=E4ttet att dela ut, redigera=A0och skriva = ut foton. > http://photos.msn.se/Support/WorldWide.aspx > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
