Overview
Feeds provide input to the filtering engine to help determine how a request or response should be treated.
Crucial to understanding feeds are the following concepts:
- DomainPath: A domain name (
example.com) which can optionally contain a path (example.com/some/path) - Category: A collection of DomainPaths referenced by a
code(By default acodeis a numerical ID, but can also be complemented with an alphanumerical name if needed) - A DomainPath can be assigned to multiple categories
We consider the combination of these DomainPaths and corresponding categories a "feed". The table below shows a simple example of such a feed:
| Category Code | Category Title | DomainPaths |
