The URL Based Limiting is based on options in a HTTP request. A request consists of a URL, Method, and request headers. Host and User-Agent are request headers. The LoadMaster URL-based limiting rules inspect based on what is selected in the Match drop-down list (Request URL, Host, User Agent, Method, !Request URL, !Host, !User Agent, or !Method. If the limit is hit the LoadMaster sends a response code (as set in the Error Responses drop-down list in the Limiter Options section).
