Is it possible to have an ACL and http_access based on the User-Agent: Apple-iPhone/701.341 ?

A test reverse OWA proxy we have is configured to prompt for authentication, and that would cause a problem with the Exchange email app on the iPhone. I want to have an http_access that checks to see if the request is coming from iPhone and allow access. I know the User Agent can be changed but this is a small start.


Sure you can. The 'browser' ACL matches exclusively on User-Agent request header and req_header ACl type can be used to match any other request header, if that's the case.

#       acl aclname browser  [-i] regexp ...
#         # pattern match on User-Agent header (see also req_header below)

#       acl aclname req_header header-name [-i] any\.regex\.here
#         # regex match against any of the known request headers.  May be
#         # thought of as a superset of "browser", "referer" and "mime-type"
#         # ACLs.


   probably something like:

acl iphone browser -i Apple-iPhone

and using that correctly on your http_access rules would do the job. Keep in mind that if any other user forges the User-Agent header, which is easily done by the way, your rules would allow those requests. There's no way to have sure we're really dealing with an iPhone here.
