Description | This article describes how to detect HTTPS-in-HTTP traffic on FortiProxy. |
Scope | FortiProxy v7.0.7 or above. |
Solution |
Before v7.0.7, it was not possible to detect HTTPS-in-HTTP traffic. In an explicit web proxy, if the 'detect-https-in-http-request' setting is enabled, HTTP GET/POST requests sent to the FortiProxy will be detected and passed instead of blocked.
This setting was introduced starting from v7.0.7 in the 'config web-proxy explicit-proxy' section. Starting from v7.4.1, this setting has been moved to the 'config firewall policy' section.
