Your Feature Request

Some customers gave feedback that they're confused by the arguments for the http-request directive. They don't know where to look for guidance on what we mean by "action" and "conditon".

Example:

http-request <action> [options...] [ { if | unless } <condition> ]

The text describes the arguments:

The first keyword after "http-request" in the syntax is the rule's action,
optionally followed by a varying number of arguments for the action. The
supported actions and their respective syntaxes are enumerated in section 4.3
"Actions" (look for actions which tick "HTTP Req").

I notice that some of our directives, like tcp-request content, show a table of arguments. This might be key in helping customers know where to look.

Maybe if we add this table to these directives, it will help customers to understand:

• http-request
• http-response
• http-after-response

What are you trying to do?

Clarify arguments for action directives.
