Just wanted to share this with the community in hopes that it may prevent one from experiencing the hardship that we did. We use MineMeld with our URL filtering rules. We appended " ?v=panosurl" to the end of the  end of the URL for our General_Block_List with the assumption that  it would just reformat the output essentially removing the "http://" from the URLs in the list.  Unfortunately adding ?v=panosurl to the end of the URL caused the list to add three entries for *.com and one for *.it.    Since this EDL was a block list it essentially began blocking everything to those TLDs. This brought the entire network to it's knees and we couldn't get into our Panorama server to revert the change. We were eventually able to access the Panorama server via the CLI and revert the changes.    Just beware and do your due diligence when implementing this on your EDLs.    Cheers! ... View more

We installed APP-Threat 790 and the issue was resolved and we could confirm the functionality.         ... View more
