The following requirements apply only to the Citrix ADC CLI: * If the expression includes one or more spaces, enclose the entire expression in double quotation marks. * If the expression itself includes double quotation marks, escape the quotations by using the \ character. * Alternatively, you can use single quotation marks to enclose the rule, in which case you do not have to escape the double quotation marks.

action

These are: * NOREWRITE - Send the request from the client to the server or response from the server to the client without making any changes in the message. * RESET - Resets the client connection by closing it. The client program, such as a browser, will handle this and may inform the user. The client may then resend the request if desired. * DROP - Drop the request without sending a response to the user.
