RE: [squid-users] block downloading extensions...!!

With first method you will get problem with cached sites i.e.

http://test.one.com/dwonload.exe?cache ....

Will not get blocked with -i \.exe$

Where as problem with mime type is that the mime.conf get overwrites with the response from server I.e.

As per squid mime.conf .exe is application/octet-stream, but your rules to block application/octet-stream don't work when you download from MS site as it returns mime type as "application/x-msdownload".

you also need $ after the extension, and it is not at all related to MIME types, only file extensions in the requested URL..

acl MyDenyExtensions urlpath_regex -i \.exe$ \.mov$ \.mpg$ \.mp?$

> acl deny MyDenyMIME

http_access deny MyDenyExtension

If you want to block based on MIME types then see the rep_mime_type acl and http_reply_access.
