ProxySG Content Policy Language Guide

define category 

Category definitions are used to extend vendor content categories or to create your own. The

 definition can be used anywhere a content filter category name would normally be 

used, including in 

category=

 tests. 

Definitions can include other definitions to create a hierarchy. For example, sports could include 
football by including 

category=football

 in the definition for sports. A defined category can have at 

most one parent category (multiple inheritance is not allowed).

Multiple definitions using the same 

 are coalesced together.

When policy tests a request URL to determine if it is in one of the categories specified by a trigger, all 
sub-categories are also checked (see Examples).

define category category_name 

end [category_name]

where:

•

—If 

 matches the name of an existing category from the 

configured content filtering service, this is used to extend the coverage of that category; otherwise 
it defines a new user defined category. 

 can be used anywhere a content filter 

category name would normally be used, including in 

category=

 tests. 

•

—A list of domain suffix or path prefix expressions, as used in the 

url.domain=

 

condition.You only need to specify a partial URL: 

❐

Hosts and subdomains within the domain you specify are automatically included.

❐

If you specify a path, all paths with that prefix will be included (if you specify no path, the 
entire site is included).

•

Use  in 

<Proxy>

 and 

<Cache>

 Layers.

•

Applies to all transactions.

The following example illustrates some of the variations allowed in a category definition:

define category Grand_Canyon

kaibab.org

www2.nature.nps.gov/ard/parks/grca/

nps.gov/grca/

grandcanyon.org

end

The following definitions define the categories sports and football, and make football a sub-category 
of sports:

define category sports

sports.com
