Hi all,
I want to prevent downloads with extension .exe. Here the lines in my
squid.conf file for windows squid version 2.6:
acl downloads url_regex -i \.exe$
http_access deny downloads
Now I can prevent exe-downloads from http-Sites. But it is not working
for https-Sites.
How can I adjust my config.conf?
You can't. squid is a http proxy, not a https interceptor (which would need intermediate certificates etc pp) The only thing squid sees of a https connection is the initial https connect.
In my view you have two options:
- limit https connections to known and needed addresses
(which makes a lot of sense as via a https connection anything could be transported in both directions and you can't see it)
- use a (commercial) product that intercepts https
