The response mime type is only known when the response from the server is seen (after connecting and sending the request). What you can do is to use urlpath_regex and match on common patterns for the downloads you want Squid to skip the siblings on. acl askdirect urlpath_regex -i \.flv$ always_direct askdirect additionally, keep in mind that always_direct only changes how Squid uses peers (makes it not use any peers), not the cache. To tell Squid to not cache the reply see the cache directive. Regards Henrik
