Chapter 13      Inspection of Basic Internet Protocols
  HTTP Inspection
• protocol-violation action {drop-connection [log] | reset [log] | log}—Checks for HTTP 
protocol violations. You must also choose the action to take for violations (drop connection, 
reset, or log) and whether to enable or disable logging.
• spoof-server string—Substitutes a string for the server header field. WebVPN streams are not 
subject to the spoof-server command.
Example
The following example shows how to define an HTTP inspection policy map that will allow and log any 
HTTP connection that attempts to access “www\.xyz.com/.*\.asp" or "www\.xyz[0-9][0-9]\.com" with 
methods "GET" or "PUT." All other URL/Method combinations will be silently allowed.
hostname(config)# regex url1 “www\.xyz.com/.*\.asp”
hostname(config)# regex url2 “www\.xyz[0-9][0-9]\.com”
hostname(config)# regex get “GET”
hostname(config)# regex put “PUT”
hostname(config)# class-map type regex match-any url_to_log
hostname(config-cmap)# match regex url1
hostname(config-cmap)# match regex url2
hostname(config-cmap)# exit
hostname(config)# class-map type regex match-any methods_to_log
hostname(config-cmap)# match regex get
hostname(config-cmap)# match regex put
hostname(config-cmap)# exit
hostname(config)# class-map type inspect http http_url_policy
hostname(config-cmap)# match request uri regex class url_to_log
hostname(config-cmap)# match request method regex class methods_to_log
hostname(config-cmap)# exit
hostname(config)# policy-map type inspect http http_policy
hostname(config-pmap)# class http_url_policy
hostname(config-pmap-c)# log
Configure the HTTP Inspection Service Policy
HTTP inspection is not enabled in the default inspection policy, so you must enable it if you need this 
inspection. However, the default inspect class does include the default HTTP ports, so you can simply 
edit the default global inspection policy to add HTTP inspection. You can alternatively create a new 
service policy as desired, for example, an interface-specific policy.
Procedure
Step 1 If necessary, create an L3/L4 class map to identify the traffic for which you want to apply the inspection.

Example: 
hostname(config)# class-map http_class_map
hostname(config-cmap)# match access-list http
