Aha. Thank you.

Isn't that how I have it written?

Thanks.

After using rep_ instead of req_ it still didn't work. It wasn't until I
changed:

no_cache allow zip
no_cache allow exe
no_cache allow msexe
no_cache deny all

to:

no_cache deny !zip !exe !msexe

... that it started working as I wanted. This is semantically different but
effectively the same isn't it (including the implied allow all)?
