oversizeHandling

What WAF should do if the headers of the request are more numerous or larger than WAF can inspect. WAF does not support inspecting the entire contents of request headers when they exceed 8 KB (8192 bytes) or 200 total headers. The underlying host service forwards a maximum of 200 headers and at most 8 KB of header contents to WAF.

The options for oversize handling are the following:

  • CONTINUE - Inspect the available headers normally, according to the rule inspection criteria.

  • MATCH - Treat the web request as matching the rule statement. WAF applies the rule action to the request.

  • NO_MATCH - Treat the web request as not matching the rule statement.
