Gone
Access to the requested URI has been blocked by the URL Firewall.If you believe that you have reached this page while performing valid operations within the application, please send mail to applmgr@justanexample.com explaining what you were doing when you got this error.
This is expected because the url firewall file doesn't have this entry. To allow this we made the following change indicated in bold in the $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/url_fw.conf file present on the extranet web tiers:
On line 617 of url_fw.conf:
#==========================================================
#Include all Custom files
#==========================================================
# Third party link
RewriteRule https://www.thirdpartysite.com - [L]
# If not allowed by list above - go away! [G] is '410 Gone'
RewriteRule .* - [G]
# END Positive list of URLs
After making this change, the Gone error stopped coming.

Hello Vikram,
Very useful articles. Thank you. I have a peculier problem. I have a setup where the DMZ web only instance needs to allow access to external sites, such as http://mycompany.service.com. However, for some reason url fw or some other stack redirects it to https and that causes the connection to fail. Do you know what might be causing this problem?
Regards,
Ravi
Hi Ravi,
Did you try adding the following line in url_fw.conf as suggested in the post:
RewriteRule https://www.thirdpartysite.com - [L]
If yes, then you should carefully see, whether you gave https as the protocol or http as the protocol. Form what you wrote, it should actually be:
http://mycompany.service.com - [L]
If this is already correct, let me know the exact error you see when you do this on Firefox. Internet Explorer is usually silent on these kind of DMZ and SSL issues.
