hello list:

I have a squid box version:

Squid Cache: Version 2.6.STABLE16
configure options: '--prefix=/var/squid' '--enable-snmp'
'--enable-arp-acl' '--enable-htcp' '--enable-follow-x-forwarded-for'
'--enable-ssl' '--disable-wccp' '--disable-wccpv2'
'--with-openssl=/usr' '--enable-icmp' '--enable-useragent-log'
'--enable-referer-log' '--enable-forward-log' '--with-large-files'
'--enable-kill-parent-hack' '--enable-multicast-miss'
'--enable-pthreads'

I have squidGuard and AdZap in place as filters. the filters worked
great, but I would like to allow video streaming through squid as
well. I have tried putting the URL on a whitelist but without any
luck. I haven't set up any blocking method on streaming but it seems
to be doing it. below are my logs.

is there any other setting I may need to put into my squid.conf
directly in order to allow streaming? or does it do it by
default(which if it does by default for some weird reason it's not
working on mine).

any help would be awesomely appreciated.
