Fwd: Re: [squid-users] no_cache issue

What happened is this:

acl magic_words2 url_regex -i .exe OR .mp3 OR .bat OR ...

no_cache deny QUERY AND magic_words2 AND OTHERACL AND ...

so it will only work if you have something like "http://www.exemple.com/
cgi-bin/filename.exe" or "http://www.exemple.com/
action.php?file=foo&name=bar" or something lilke that. (\? escape the special
meaning of the ?).

What you want is:

acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? \.exe \.mp3
no_cache deny QUERY

OR

acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?
acl magic_words2 url_regex -i \.exe \.mp3
no_cache deny QUERY
no_cache deny magic_words2

Once again the \. is to escape the special meaning of the dot.

Hope this will help you.
