[squid-users] Blocking EXE problem??

Hi all,

I am trying to stop my staff from download EXE files from the
internet.

The problem is that I have come across a couple of sites that are legit
that have EXE in the URL.

Here is an example:

http://www.ht.com.au/scripts/xworks.exe?M

I have the following ACLs:

acl ITStaff src IP1 IP2 IP3 etc
acl POST method post
acl EXE urlpath_regex \.[eE][xX][eE]

And here is the rule:

http_access deny EXE !POST !ITStaff

Shouldn't that allow the URL with the EXE to display?

Can anyone think of a way to get around this (other than creating a URL
exception list)?

Thanks,

Justin
