HTTP Triggers

This is a very powerful tool that enables the server admin to specify triggers that will result in a ban if triggered. A trigger can be any part of the HTTP request header. A simple HTTP request looks something like this:

GET /test.html HTTP/1.0

To make a trigger that simply blacklists anyone attempting to request the file test.html the trigger properties would look something like this:

Description: "Ban test.html requests!"
Trigger: "get*test.html*"
Timelength: 12 hours.

Notice the trigger is not case sensitive and contains many wildcard characters which make it easier to make effective triggers.

Once this trigger is triggered by an http request attempting to retrieve the file test.html a blacklist item will be created in the blacklist list with the address of the requester and the timelength specified in the trigger properties.
