Blue Coat Systems Proxy SG day=

ProxySG Content Policy Language Guide

day=

Tests if the day of the month is in the specified range or an exact match. The ProxySG appliance’s

configured date and time zone are used to determine the current day of the month. To specify the UTC

time zone, use the form day.utc=. Note that the numeric pattern used to test the day condition can

contain no whitespace.

Syntax

day[.utc]={[first_day]..[last_day]|exact_day}

where:

•first_day—An integer from 1 to 31, indicating the first day of the month that will test true. If left

blank, day 1 is assumed.

•last_day—An integer from 1 to 31, indicating the last day of the month that will test true. If left

blank, day 31 is assumed.

•exact_day—An integer from 1 to 31, indicating the day of the month that will test true.

Note: To test against an inverted range, such as days early and late in the month, the following

shorthand expression is available. While day=(..5|25..) specifies the first 5 days of the

month and last few days of the month, the policy language also recognizes day=25..5 as the

same.

Layer and Transaction Notes

• Use in all layers.

• Using time-related conditions to control caching behavior in a <Cache> layer may cause thrashing

of the cached objects.

Examples

day=1 month=1

; This policy allows access to a special event site only during the days of

; the event.

; This form of the rule restricts access during non-event times.

<Proxy> url=http://www.xyz.com/special_event

; The next line matches, but does nothing if allow is the default

; year=2003 month=7 day=23..25 ; During the event

; deny Any other time

; This form of the rule assumes access is generally denied, and grants access during

; the special event.

<Proxy> url=http://www.xyz.com/special_event
