2. Introduction

This tutorial helps you to configure Zorp to analyze HTTP(S) traffic in various scenarios. For filtering viruses in HTTP traffic with Zorp, you must configure an HttpProxy proxy and a ZCV module. Generally, the settings of the virus filter do not affect the HTTP traffic: the Zorp HTTP proxy checks the HTTP protocol and then passes the data part to the ZCV stacking provider, and has no knowledge about what ZCV will do with the data.

Note that explaining the concepts of the different aspects of SSL/TLS and HTTP proxying is beyond the scope of this tutorial. For background information, see the following documents:

For details on deriving and modifying proxies, see Section 6.6, Proxy classes in Zorp Professional 7 Administrator Guide.
For details on configuring ZCV, see Chapter 14, Virus and content filtering using ZCV in Zorp Professional 7 Administrator Guide.
For details on configuring Zorp proxies to handle SSL/TLS connections, see How to configure SSL proxying in Zorp 7.
For an overview on certificates and related topics in connection with Zorp, see Chapter 11, Key and certificate management in Zorp in Zorp Professional 7 Administrator Guide.
For details on the available attributes of the Zorp HTTP proxy that you can adjust and modify to best suit your needs, see Section 4.7, Module Http in Zorp Professional 7 Reference Guide
