Description URL

I noticed in SmartConsole (R81 550) logs you attempt to provide Description URL:

Strictly speaking this is not an URL because as you know:

Every HTTP URL conforms to the syntax of a generic URI. The URI generic syntax consists of a hierarchical sequence of five components:

URI = scheme:[//authority]path[?query][#fragment]

So, kindly fix it 😉

Can you please give a specific example of a log in which you see this?

It's OK to redact some fields, but I'd like to see the log type, blade and context to identify which code generates this value.

Also, you mentioned R81. Do you see a change of behavior from previous versions?

@Tomer_Noy It is in all logs generated by IPS blade for both for Detect and Prevent actions:

I am not 100% sure but I think exact same issue is in R80.40.

Thanks. I'll take this feedback with the IPS team.

No, not really. I even asked ChatGPT but it doesn't know anything about it either. So, still a mystery to me.
