Aardvark Proxy Middleman

This service acts as a middleman between frontend web servers and ticket submission services such as JIRA or BugZilla, and intercepts all data sent. Data is scanned for known offending words that are common in spam, and blocks the request if such are found.

Settings:

proxy_url: The backend service to proxy to if request is sane
spamurls: Specific honey-pot URLs that trigger a block regardless of the action
ignoreurls: Specific URLs that are exempt from spam detection
postmatches: A list of keywords and/or regexes that, if matched, will block the request
multimatch: A combination blocker. If a required keyword or regex is matched, the request will be blocked only if one or more auxiliary keywords/regexes are also matched

Pipservicing
