Instructions
This item contains a simulation task. Refer to the scenario and topology before you start. When
you are ready, open the Topology window and click the required device to open the GUI window
on a virtual terminal. Scroll to view all parts of the Cisco ASDM screens.
Scenario
Click the PC icon to launch Cisco ASDM. You have access to a Cisco ASA 5505 via Cisco ASDM.
Use Cisco ASDM to edit the Cisco ASA 5505 configurations to enable Advanced HTTP
Application inspection by completing the following tasks:
1. Enable HTTP inspection globally on the Cisco ASA
2. Create a new HTTP inspect Map named: http-inspect-map to:
a. Enable the dropping of any HTTP connections that encounter HTTP protocol violations
b. Enable the dropping and logging of any HTTP connections when the content type in the HTTP
response does not match one of the MIME types in the accept filed of the HTTP request
Note: In the simulation, you will not be able to test the HTTP inspection policy after you complete
your configuration. Not all Cisco ASDM screens are fully functional.

After you complete the configuration, you do not need to save the running configuration to the
start-up config, you will not be able to test the HTTP inspection policy that is created after you
complete your configuration. Also not all the ASDM screens are filly functional.

Answer: See the explanation

Explanation:
1.>Go to Configuration>>Firewall>>Objects>>Inspect Maps>>HTTP>>Add>>Add name “httpinspect-map”>>click on detail>>
a. select “check for protocol violations”
b. Action: Drop connection
c. Log: Enable
d. Click on Inspection: Click Add
e. Select Single Match>>Match type: No Match
f. Criterion: response header field
g. Field: Predefined: Content type
h. value: Content type
i. Action: Drop connection
j. Log: Enable
h. ok>>>ok>>>Apply
HTTP inspection is disabled in global policy by default – we need to enable and use this Inspect
Map
Achieve this through command line:

policy-map type inspect http http-inspect-map
parameters
protocol-violation action drop-connection
match req-resp content-type mismatch
drop-connection log
policy-map global_policy
class inspaection_default
inspect http http-inspect-map
also you have to edit the global policy to apply this inspection into it.
Add/Edit HTTP Map
The Add/Edit HTTP Map dialog box is accessible as follows:
Configuration > Global Objects > Inspect Maps > HTTP > HTTP Inspect Map > Advanced View >
Add/Edit
HTTP Inspect
The Add/Edit HTTP Inspect dialog box lets you define the match criterion and value for the HTTP
inspect map.
