Web filtering not showing entire URL

When looking at the Web Filter log on my 60D (5.6.0), I am seeing things like "video.twimg.com" and pbs.twimg.com". I want to see the entire URL of the video or picture being viewed. I was under the impression that web filtering monitor would give me this information. Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hello broncoman79,

     

    If you want to look at the full URL, you need to enable deep-inspection for the HTTPS sessions. You would have to import the SSL Certificate that you choose to use onto your environment. After enabling deep-inspection, you should see the URL as attached.

    Thanks for taking the time to answer!!!

     

    I tried this yesterday, and imported the FG cert to my iphone, and a ton of apps complained about certificates. Do I just need to take the time to exempt all of those URLs from Deep-Inspection?

    Did you import the correct Certificates? If you did, most applications should not be complaining. You can do a quick test going to a HTTPS site like Wikipedia on a browser. If that works, you have done it correctly. Which also means those failed connections are likely caused by certificate-pinning by those apps. 

     

    If browsing most HTTPS sites on a browser fail, you may have imported the wrong Certificate or some steps have not been done correctly.
