Blue Coat Systems Proxy SG manual Request.xheader.headername.address=

ProxySG Content Policy Language Guide

request.x_header.header_name.address=

Tests if the specified request header can be parsed as an IP address; otherwise, false. If parsing succeeds, then the IP address extracted from the header is tested against the specified IP address. The expression can include an IP address or subnet, or the label of a subnet definition block. This condition is intended for use with custom headers other than X-Forwarded-Forand Client-IPheaders; for these, use request.header.header_name.address= so that typing any errors can be caught at compile time.
