How someone can use User-Agent as Libre office?

Hi Sanjib,

LibreOffice is known for sending lots of PROPFIND method requests (which are used by WebDAV protocol).

This can happen if someone is using LibreOffice to open a URL on your website - for example your webpage might have a link to a MS Word .DOC document. If someone who is using LibreOffice clicks on this document they will open it using LibreOffice and you will see "LibreOffice" as a User-Agent.

Note that similarly MS Office is known for doing the same thing (sending PROPFIND requests uing "Microsoft Office" or "Microsoft Office WebDAV" user-agent).

Hope this helps,

Sam

Dharani, what are you trying to protect with ASM? SharePoint? Then using the built-in Application-Ready SharePoint policy template is best.

If it is not Sharepoint I still recommend you create a sample policy (not associated with any Virtual Server) based on SharePoint 2010 and study how it implements the PROPFIND method and the XML profile...

Hope this helps,

Sam

Hi All, Can anyone tell me how to handle below mentioned XML / Openoffice request on ASM?

Is there any link or tool to learn how to generate request using Open office?
