Well, Squid does have the ability to restrict by size but it's more of a
global setting affecting all users. So... at least it seems that it can
check to see the size of an object being requested and then disallow access
after that.

I guess adding size support to ACLs is something that needs to be done for
the next version. :-)

In the meantime, is there a way to require auth for EXE/ZIP files without
messing up EXE CGI scripts?
