Abstract
An edge server receives a request from a client device for an action to be performed on a resource. The edge server determines whether data traffic is associated with one or more filters. When the edge server determines that there are filters associated with the type of data traffic, the edge server accesses a data structure storing properties of the request. For each request property in the data structure, the edge server applies a related filter to a value of the request property and determines where the value of the request property matches an expected value. In response to determining that one or more filters match, the edge server performs actions on the request. When the edge server performs the actions on the request, the edge server sends the request to the origin server.
