The URL path here is probably: /download.php?

And you are looking for anything that ends in ".wmv".

So this doesn't match. Try http_reply_access with content type ACLs.
Detecting downloads by looking at the URL is ludicrous. And I'm ashamed we
tried the same thing for years. ;) This is but one example why it's not
reliable.
