There's probably a couple of things here:

1) do you really want the "^"? In a regular expression it means "at the
beginning of a line". I don't think that's going to happen.

2) Your http_access line will deny only requests that contain "text/html"
AND "text/htm" AND "image/gif" AND "image/jpg" simultaneously. Probably
not going to happen. You probably need a separate line for each acl.

3) Do you want to catch "image/jpeg" too?
