Description of problem:

We would like to set rate limiting on HTTP or HTTPs traffic in two ways:

• by number of HTTP requests a user can make within a period of time. When this period of time immediately follows each request, this limit is called a sliding window rate limit.
• by assigning distinct rate limits to individual URLs of your web application. This type of configuration can be useful when different pages require different amounts of processing time, and thus can handle a different number of concurrent users. This configuration uses a map file to associate different rate limits to different URLs in your web application.
