How to Block http://localhost:4502/.json ?

[ShivaMn]

Hello All,

What rule to apply on dispatcher to block 

http://localhost:4502/.json ??

Thanks,

@ShivaMn - There is a general default filter rule for denying json extension requests as below -

# Deny content grabbing for greedy queries and prevent un-intended self DOS attacks
/0017 { /type "deny" /selectors '(feed|rss|pages|languages|blueprint|infinity|tidy|sysview|docview|query|[0-9-]+|jcr:content)' /extension '(json|xml|html|feed)' }

But these rules are valid on Dispatcher and not Author instance (4502).
You can refer below URL for Dispatcher Filter rules -

Hi,

To block requests for URLs ending with ".json" on the Dispatcher, add the following rule in the dispatcher.any file:

/ {
/type "deny"
/url "*.json"
}

Restart the Dispatcher service for the changes to take effect.
