hi,

AppCtrl is based on the IPS engine, and is not restricted to any type of traffic. Especially, not HTTP(S). So there is no replacement message sent if HTTP traffic matches an AC sensor. (how would that work with e.g. Facebook or WhatsApp anyway?)

The in-depth documentation on this is the FortiOS Handbook for the version you use.
