SecRequestBodyAccess

Description: Configure whether the WAF is allowed to access request body content.

Syntax: SecRequestBodyAccess On|Off

Default: Off

Case Sensitive: Yes

This directive must be enabled to inspect data transmitted in the request body (such as POST parameters). Request buffering is also essential for reliable blocking. Options:

  • On: Buffer and inspect the request body
  • Off: Do not buffer the request body

This directive does not actually affect whether WGE buffers the request body, because WGE cannot control the buffering action itself - it can only passively receive the request body from the server. For this directive to take effect, related logic needs to be added in the server.
