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.

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.

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? ________________________________ This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
