Blocking Requests Based Off of HTTP Headers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all,

 

I am trying to block requests based off of HTTP Headers using a RewriteCond to a RewriteMap.

 

I have the following:

 

RewriteMap    hosts-deny  txt:/path_to/hosts.deny

RewriteCond   ${hosts-deny:%{REMOTE_HOST}|NOT-FOUND} !=NOT-FOUND [OR]

RewriteCond   ${hosts-deny:%{REMOTE_ADDR}|NOT-FOUND} !=NOT-FOUND [OR]

RewriteCond   ${hosts-deny:%{true-client-ip}|NOT-FOUND} !=NOT-FOUND

RewriteRule   ^/.*  -  [F]

 

I want to block requests if the REMOTE_HOST, REMOTE_ADDR or true-client-ip header matches the contents of the hosts.deny file. The hosts.deny file I have created looks like:

 

192.168.1.2 –

192.168.1.3 -

 

If the REMOTE_HOST or REMOTE_ADDR matches the contents of the hosts.deny file, the block works. However, if I set an HTTP header for true-client-ip it does not match. I’ve tried a number of combinations and cannot get this to work as expected. I know that the true-client-ip header exists, as I am using it to log information into a log file successfully.
