There is in fact access to the requestBodyAccess directive from ctl… See 
https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/wiki/Reference-Manual#ctl. You can 
use it in much the same way you could use RuleEngine. Hope this solves your 
problem.

Thanks Chaim.
The ideal situation would be if there was a URI equivalent of

SecResponseBodyAccess Off


I can't always provide a URL string to match against and I don't want to 
disable all rules since it's only the URI that's encrypted at the application 
layer.  Everything else is simple SSL/TLS which I can decrypt without problem.

Wouldn't that bypass all future rules from scanning that same HTTP transactions?

You could use the ‘ctl’ action to disable the engine after a certain rule

a virtual host area if needed.

SecRule REQUEST_URI "@contains /encryptedbit/" "phase:1,t:none,pass, 
nolog,ctl:ruleEngine=Off”

Subject: [Owasp-modsecurity-core-rule-set] Ignore URI From Scanning

Hello Group,
I'm come across an issue in which I'll be using ModSecurity to protect a site 
with an encrypted URI.  For the sake of reducing false positives, what would be 
the most effective way to omit the URI from scanning but continue to scan other 
HTTP header fields and all payloads?
