Modify Proxy Rules

To modify proxy rules you must edit the proxy rules XML configuration file using a text editor. Since proxy rules are XML files, your proxy rules configuration file must be well-formed and valid. Remember that the tags in a well-formed XML file must all consist of opening and closing tags. To be valid, the file must adhere to the guidelines laid out in the proxyrules.dtd.

Changes to the proxy rules XML configuration file are picked up automatically by the SPS. When the SPS receives a request, it checks whether or not the proxy rules have changed. If the file has changed, the rules are reloaded before fulfilling the request.

Note: If you change the name of the proxy rules XML configuration file in the rules_file directive in the <ServiceDispatcher> element of the server.conf file, you must restart the SPS.
