This setting is available if KAV Engine is initialized in ICAP mode. To specify exclusions by object type:
The Object types to exclude window opens.
Kaspersky Scan Engine matches the Content-Type HTTP header to the values of this exclusion rule. If the Content-Type HTTP header contains the specified value, the ICAP plugin does not scan this object.
To apply this setting, you have to configure a proxy server to send previews to the ICAP server.
This setting is available if KAV Engine is initialized in ICAP mode. To specify exclusions by URL:
The Exclusions by URL window opens.
Kaspersky Scan Engine will skip these URLs. Specified URLs must not include scheme, query, and fragment components.
It is allowed to use masks. You can specify the asterisk (*) wildcard character as a substitute for a sequence of characters that constitute an entire domain name from the third level of the domain and above. For example, *.domain.com
. This value includes all subdomains of domain.com
. The asterisk (*) and question mark (?) wildcard characters can be used in a path component of the URL to substitute for any sequence of characters, or a single character, respectively. For example, domain.com/test/page/*
.
To apply this setting, you have to configure a proxy server to send previews to the ICAP server.
This setting is available if KAV Engine is initialized in ICAP mode. To specify exclusions by object size:
If this setting is specified, Kaspersky Scan Engine expects to receive previews and compares the value of the Content-Length HTTP header to the value of this setting and also checks the actual object size. If either the header value or the actual object size is greater than the specified value, the ICAP plugin does not scan the object. This applies both to requests made in preview mode and regular requests.
To apply this setting, you have to configure a proxy server to send previews to the ICAP server.
When you apply new scanning settings, KAV Engine restarts.
