Create App for Bing Searching

[krhayes]

Hello,

I recently got a request asking how often people at our institution search via Bing.  I could not find any existing application that does this, so I thought this would be a great exercise to create an app, however my creations is not getting triggered at all.

I created an application based on the following criteria:

HTTP Method: GET

HTTP hostname: www.bing.com

HTTP URI content: "search?"

I believe that I made this correctly after following the documentation, and the configuration from the CLI is shown below for my app. HOWEVER, it never seems to fire properly when I search for anything on Bing. All I did was to define this app; I did not change any policies. I currently have outbound policies that permit all traffic. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
