Akamai has been doing precisely that for years & years...
Judging by previous outages it was probably a poorly tested overcomplicated regex which matched to much.
I doubt the system is that simple. No one wrote a rule saying `if url.contains("camel") then block()` it's probably an unintended side-effect
