#### HTML files Content Awareness does not scan HTML files (for type and content) which are downloaded using the HTTP "GET" method over HTTP because it could have a high adverse affect on the Security Gateway performance. * To enable the scan of HTML files, on the Security Gateway change the value of the kernel parameter *fileapp_parse_html* to 1. * To disable the scan of HTML files, on the Security Gateway change the value of the kernel parameter *fileapp_parse_html* to 0.
